Publisher Synopsis
"A most illuminating work." Geoffrey A. Hosking, Times Literary Supplement "As an accumulation of fresh material on Stalinism, The Road to Terror has few equals." Robert Service, Evening Standard "This book is the first comprehensive study of the Great Terror of the 1930s based on previously top secret Soviet documents. It will be indispensable for all historians and researchers of communism, the USSR, and Stalinism for many decades to come." Roy A. Medvedev, author of Let History Judge "This book will be of great value to students of the Terror and the material, such as Bukharin's last letter, is astounding." Michael J. Ybarra, Wall Street Journal "A riveting and important work." Virginia Quarterly Review "The authors attempt to escape from the sterility of so much purge writing... This is an elegant and persuasive thesis." Chris Ward, American Historical Review Read more...
