Beginning in 1948, the Soviet Union launched a series of wildly
ambitious projects to implement Joseph Stalin's vision of a total
"transformation of nature." Intended to increase agricultural
yields dramatically, this utopian impulse quickly spread to the
newly communist states of Eastern Europe, captivating political
elites and war-fatigued publics alike. By the time of Stalin's
death, however, these attempts at "transformation"-which relied
upon ideologically corrupted and pseudoscientific theories-had
proven a spectacular failure. This richly detailed volume follows
the history of such projects in three communist states-Poland,
Hungary, and Czechoslovakia-and explores their varied, but largely
disastrous, consequences.
