Almost two decades have passed since the collapse of communism in
Eastern Europe and the USSR. Robert Service, one of our finest
historians of modern Russia, sets out to examine the history of
communism throughout the world. His uncomfortable conclusion - and
an important message for the twenty-first century - is that
although communism in its original form is now dead or dying, the
poverty and injustice that enabled its rise are still dangerously
alive. Unsettling, compellingly written and brilliantly argued,
this is a superb work of history and one that demands to be read.
'Bears all the hallmarks of a classic work of historical literature
... the true international legacy of communism [is] analysed to
magisterial effect in this exhilarating work' Hwyel Williams New
Statesman 'One of the best-ever studies of the subject ... a
remarkable accomplishment' Economist 'An outstanding book, written
with grace and style' Daily Telegraph '[A] brilliantly distilled
world history of communism ... Confronted by Service's amazing
array of evidence to show that communism could only ever have
flourished under conditions of extreme and all-pervasive
oppression, only the determinedly softheaded would try to argue
with him' Craig Brown, Mail on Sunday
