"A work of considerable delicacy and nuance....Brown has crafted a readable and judicious account of Communist history...that is both controversial and commonsensical."
--Salon.com
"Ranging wisely and lucidly across the decades and around the world, this is a splendid book."
--William Taubman, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Khrushchev: The Man and His Era
