Recenzii
'… a penetrating view of the Soviet governmental system and its likely future in the 1980s. His dissection of Stalin's rule by mass terror is masterly.' John Barkham, Federal Times
'He displays a mastery of detail and excellent judgment. The book is solidly based on a remarkably broad knowledge of the available data.' Myron Rush, International Security
'Seweryn Bialer is probably the most perceptive observer of Soviet politics, society and foreign policy writing today … His book is a superb and well documented piece of scholarship.' Richard Ullman, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs
'In the next decade the world is likely to be a more dangerous place than anything we have known for at least a generation. In order to contain almost certain disorder, we had best try to understand the sources of Soviet conduct, and reading Seweryn Bialer is one of the best ways to begin.' The New York Times
'It is salutary to have a work that asks us to set aside our penchant for facile or ideologically motivated assumptions, and to see the USSR in a dispassionate and icily objective manner.' Washington Post
