Winner of the 2010 W.J.M. Mackenzie Prize for Best Political
Science Book of the Year 2010 The relentless rise of Communism was
the most momentous political development of the first half of the
twentieth century. No political change has been more fundamental
than its demise in Europe and its decline elsewhere. In this hugely
acclaimed book Archie Brown provides an indispensable history that
examines the origins of the ideology, its development in different
countries, its collapse in many states following the Soviet
perestroika, and its current incarnations around the globe. The
Rise and Fall of Communism explains how and why Communists came to
power; how they were able, in a variety of countries on different
continents to hold on to power for so long; and what brought about
the downfall of so many Communist systems. A groundbreaking work
from an internationally renowned specialist, this is the definitive
study of the most remarkable political and human story of our
times.
