<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>The Soviet Tragedy</i> is an essential coda to the literature of Soviet studies...Insofar as [he] returns the power of ideology to its central place in Soviet history, Malia has made an enormous contribution. He has written the history of a utopian illusion and the tragic consequences it had for the people of the Soviet Union and the world. <br> -- David Remnick, <i>The New York Review of Books</i> <br> In Martin Malia, the Soviet Union had one of its most acute observers. With this book, it may well have found the cornerstone of its history. <br> -- Francois Furet, author of <i>Interpreting the French Revolution</i> <br> <i>The Soviet Tragedy</i> offers the most thorough scholarly analysis of the Communist phenomenon that we are likely to get for a long while to come...Malia states that his narrative is intended 'to substantiate the basic argument, ' and this is certainly an argumentative book, which drives its thesis home with hammer blows. On this breathtaking journey, Malia is a witty and often brilliantly penetrating guide. He has much wisdom to impart. <br> -- <i>The Times Literary Supplement</i> <br> This is history at the high level, well deployed factually, but particularly worthwhile in the philosophical and political context -- at once a view and an overview. <br> -- <i>The Washington Post
