Totalitarianism and the Prospects for World Order

Description:

"Concentration camp survivor, former Marxist Leninist, and Lithuanian patriot, Aleksandras Shtromas devoted his life to understanding totalitarianism and political change. He was a remarkably prescient thinker and is probably best known for his prediction of the fall of the Soviet Union, forecast at a time when the mighty empire seemed almost invincible. This posthumous collection of writings, edited by Robert Faulkner and Daniel I. Mahoney, addresses some of the topics that preoccupied Shtromas throughout his life, including totalitarian regimes, post-communist transitions, the fates of the Baltic states, and the nature of political revolutions."--Jacket.
