Title: An excellent historical and political eye-opener.
Review: Mr. Conquest illuminates the dawn, developement and consequences of leftist and, yes, rightist nationalistic ideologies that ravaged the last century. As these -isms still have infatuated disciples in all strata of society around the globe it is important to spread the word of their true nature and their past "achievements". It is also very refreshing to hear the truth at last about political and philosophical "icons" of the 19th and 20th c.( but most of the unsavoury facts have been known for decades, at least to those who were not afraid of independent thinking and kept their eyes and ears opened). One of the most important books for anyone interested in politics and history, brilliantly written and easy to read.
