The final edition of a valuable reference work documenting the story of Communism from its beginnings to its amazing collapse.

v. 1. Communism in Russia -- v. 2. Communism and the world.

An extensive revision of the valued but unobtainable 1960 edition. Nearly 300 key documents are now readily available in translation.

Service offers a history of communism, drawing the uncomfortable conclusion that the poverty and injustice that enabled its rise are still dangerously alive. Unsettling and compelling, this is a comprehensive study of one of the most important movements of the modern world.
