Black Book of Communism - Courtois, Stephane a Werth, Nicolas a Panne, Jean-Louis a Paczkowski, Andrzej a Bartosek, Karel a Margolin, Jean-Louis

This international bestseller plumbs archives in the former Soviet bloc to reveal the actual, practical accomplishments of Communism around the world: terror, torture, famine, mass deportations, and massacres. The authors show how and why, wherever the ideology of Communism was established, it quickly led to crime, terror, and repression.
