Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“The publication of Richard Pipes’ Communism: A History…is
of signal importance. One cannot put it down without realizing, once and
for all, that the road to utopia is paved with the bodies of the
innocent—and leads nowhere.”
—Baltimore Sun
“In the name of great good, Communism has brought great evil…If
you’ve wondered how your children and grandchildren are going to grasp
this large and alien reality, a good move is to make sure they own this
book.”
—Weekly Standard
“As a brief, polemical diatribe by one of its fiercest Western critics
and historians, this short account of communism should provoke and
instruct. For general and academic libraries.” —Library Journal
“I wish every university student…would read this grim book.” —Paul Johnson, author of Modern Times
