Product Information

The definitive work on Stalin's purges, Robert Conquest's The Great Terror was universally acclaimed when it first appeared in 1968. Edmund Wilson hailed it as "the only scrupulous, non-partisan, and adequate book on the subject." George F. Kennan, writing in The New York Times Book Review, noted that "one comes away filled with a sense of the relevance and immediacy of old questions." And Harrison Salisbury called it "brilliant...not only an odyssey of madness, tragedy, and sadism, but a work of scholarship and literary craftsmanship." And in recent years it has received equally high praise in the Soviet Union, where it is now considered the authority on the period, and has been serialized in Neva, one of their leading periodicals. Of course, when Conquest wrote the original volume two decades ago, he relied heavily on unofficial sources. Now, with the advent of glasnost, an avalanche of new material is available, and Conquest has mined this enormous cache to write a substantially new edition of his classic work. It is remarkable how many of Conquest's most disturbing conclusions have born up under the light of fresh evidence. But Conquest has added enormously to the detail, including hitherto secret information on the three great "Moscow Trials," on the fate of the executed generals, on the methods of obtaining confessions, on the purge of writers and other members of the intelligentsia, on life in the labor camps, and many other key matters. Both a leading Sovietologist and a highly respected poet, Conquest here blends profound research with evocative prose, providing not only an authoritative account of Stalin's purges, but also a compelling and eloquent chronicle of one of this century's most tragic events. A timely revision of a book long out of print, this updated version of Conquest's classic work will interest both readers of the earlier volume and an entirely new generation of readers for whom it has not been readily available.

Reviews
"[A] broad, well-doumented portrayal....This remains an essential source,and any library without it should buy it. Larger collections will want therevision"--Library Journal "This is a terrifying record from the best of allcommentators on Stalin's USSR." --(Newark) Star-Ledger, "Anthony Powell once wrote of Robert Conquest that he had a 'capacity for taking enormous pains in relation to any enterprise in hand.' It is beyond dispute that, forty years after the publication of The Great Terror, this judgment requires no reassessment."--Michael Weiss, The New Criterion, "The reader comes away feeling that the author knows every event of theSoviet years, that no remotely accessible document has escaped his attention,that he hasn't neglected a single publication in the smallest provincialnewspaper....A particularly wonderful quality of this book is also that whenquestions, ideas, or suppositions arise in you, reader, the author invariablyanswers these mental queries a few pages later, develops the thought you've hadand figures things out along with you, bringing in more arguments on both sidesthan you ever thought possible....This book is not a storeroom of facts, but aprofoundly analytical investigation....Having finished this book, no one canever again say: ' I didn't know.' Now we all know."--Tatyana Tolstaya, The NewYork Review of Books, "Anthony Powell once wrote of Robert Conquest that he had a 'capacity for taking enormous pains in relation to any enterprise in hand.'

Larger collections will want the revision"--Library Journal "This is a terrifying record from the best of all commentators on Stalin's USSR." --(Newark) Star-Ledger, "The new version is appearing at a moment when...all of Mr. Conquest's main findings have been magnificently vindicated in the Soviet Union itself....Mr. Conquest's stature in the historiography of modern Europe is assured....Stalin was not only the master criminal; he was the masterconcealer. It took a master detective, and a poet, like Mr. Conquest to unmask him completely"--Norman Davies, The New York Times Book Review, "A classic reading on Stalinism that has been very much supported by the voluminous material now coming out in the Soviet Union under glasnost."--Edward W. Walder New York University, "The reader comes away feeling that the author knows every event of the Soviet years, that no remotely accessible document has escaped his attention, that he hasn't neglected a single publication in the smallest provincial newspaper....A particularly wonderful quality of this book is also thatwhen questions, ideas, or suppositions arise in you, reader, the author invariably answers these mental queries a few pages later, develops the thought you've had and figures things out along with you, bringing in more arguments on both sides than you ever thought possible....This book is not astoreroom of facts, but a profoundly analytical investigation....Having finished this book, no one can ever again say: ' I didn't know.' Now we all know."--Tatyana Tolstaya, The New York Review of Books
