The Soviet Tragedy is an essential coda to the literature of Soviet studies...Insofar as [he] returns the power of ideology to its central place in Soviet history; Malia has made an enormous contribution. He has written the history of a utopian illusion and the tragic consequences it had for the people of the Soviet Union and the world. -- David Remnick; The New York Review of Books "In Martin Malia; the Soviet Union had one of its most acute observers. With this book; it may well have found the cornerstone of its history." -- Francois Furet; author of Interpreting the French Revolution "The Soviet Tragedy offers the most thorough scholarly analysis of the Communist phenomenon that we are likely to get for a long while to come...Malia states that his narrative is intended 'to substantiate the basic argument;' and this is certainly an argumentative book; which drives its thesis home with hammer blows. On this breathtaking journey; Malia is a witty and often brilliantly penetrating guide. He has much wisdom to impart." -- The Times Literary Supplement "This is history at the high level; well deployed factually; but particularly worthwhile in the philosophical and political context -- at once a view and an overview." -- The Washington Post
