Concentration camp survivor, former Marxist-Leninist and Lithuanian
patriot, Aleksandras Shtromas devoted his life to understanding
totalitarianism and political change. He was a remarkably prescient
thinker and is probably best known for his prediction of the fall
of the Soviet Union, forecast at a time when the mighty empire
seemed almost invincible. This posthumous collection of writings,
edited by Robert Faulkner and Daniel J. Mahoney, addresses some of
the topics that preoccupied Shtromas throughout his life, including
totalitarian regimes, postcommunist transitions, the fates of the
Baltic states, and the nature of political revolutions. Readers of
Totalitarianism and the Prospects for World Order: Closing the Door
on the Twentieth Century will encounter not just a learned and
impressive scholar, but also a great man who confronted monstrous
evils in his lifetime.
