Product Information
Walter Laqueur as been hailed as "one of our most distinguished scholars of modern European history" in the New York Times Book Review. Robert Byrnes, writing in the Journal of Modern History, called him "one of the most remarkable men in the Western world working in the field." Over a span of three decades, in books ranging from Russia and Germany to the recent Black Hundred, he has won a reputation as a major writer and a provocative thinker. Now he turns his attention to the greatest enigma of our time: the rise and fall of the Soviet Union. In The Dream that Failed, Laqueur offers an authoritative assessment of the Soviet era--from the triumph of Lenin to the fall of Gorbachev. In the last three years, decades of conventional wisdom about the U.S.S.R. have been swept away, while a flood of evidence from Russian archives demands new thinking about old assumptions. Laqueur rises to the challenge with a critical inquiry conducted on a grand scale. He shows why the Bolsheviks won the struggle for power in 1917; how they captured the commitment of a young generation of Russians; why the idealism faded as Soviet power grew; how the system ultimately collapsed; and why Western experts have been so wrong about the Communist state. Always thoughtful and incisive, Laqueur reflects on the early enthusiasm of foreign observers and Bolshevik revolutionaries--then takes a piercing look at the totalitarian nature of the Soviet Union. We see how Communist society stagnated during the 1960s and '70s, as the economy wobbled to the brink; we also see how Western observers, from academic experts to CIA analysts, made wildly optimistic estimates of Moscow's economic and political strength. Just weeks before the U.S.S.R. disappeared from the earth, scholars were confidently predicting the survival of the Soviet Union. But in underscoring the rot and repression, he also notes that the Communist state did not necessarily have to fall when it did, and he examines the many factors behind the collapse (the pressure from Reagan's Star Wars arms program, for instance, and ethnic nationalism). Some of these same problems, he finds, continue to shape the future of Russia and the other successor states. Only now, in the rubble of this lost empire, are we coming to grips with just how wrong our assumptions about the U.S.S.R. had been. In The Dream That Failed, an internationally renowned historian provides a new understanding of the Soviet experience, from the rise of Communism to its sudden fall. The result of years of research and reflection, it sheds fresh light on a central episode in our turbulent century.

"The author of these 'Reflections' brings to his task the fruits of a lifetime's study of international politics in general and Communism in particular....His critique is couched in moderate terms and he wisely resists the temptation to claim infallibility for his own earlier judgments."--The Times Literary Supplement, "Walter Laqueur has provided us with yet another collection of lucidinsights into the political history of the former Soviet Union and the failureof western Sovietologists to predict the Soviet collapse."--European StudiesJournal, "Once again, Laqueur, the author of numerous books and articles onCommunist affairs and other aspects of contemporary history, tells us much thatis truly worth knowing about a topic of genuine importance."--Commentary, "Walter Laqueur, a distinguished scholar of Soviet and Russian affairs, has written what he calls an 'inquest' into what went wrong with the Soviet Union....If Laqueur is tentative regarding the causes of the Soviet failure, he is scathing in his critique of "Sovietology (particularlyAmerican, British, and German) for its failure to anticipate the collapse of the Soviet system."--The Russian Review, "Laqueur offers a measured and judicious assessment of how we saw the Soviet Union, and how the Soviets saw themselves."--Wilson Library Bulletin, "Wide-ranging, learned, and full of the insights of a lifetime of scholarship."--Kirkus Reviews"The author of these 'Reflections' brings to his task the fruits of a lifetime's study of international politics in general and Communism in particular....His critique is couched in moderate terms and he wisely resists the temptation to claim infallibility for his own earlier judgments."--The Times Literary Supplement"Walter Laqueur has provided us with yet another collection of lucid insights into the political history of the former Soviet Union and the failure of western Sovietologists to predict the Soviet collapse."--European Studies Journal"Walter Laqueur, a distinguished scholar of Soviet and Russian affairs, has written what he calls an 'inquest' into what went wrong with the Soviet Union....If Laqueur is tentative regarding the causes of the Soviet failure, he is scathing in his critique of "Sovietology (particularly American, British, and German) for its failure to anticipate the collapse of the Soviet system."--The Russian Review"Once again, Laqueur, the author of numerous books and articles on Communist affairs and other aspects of contemporary history, tells us much that is truly worth knowing about a topic of genuine importance."--Commentary"An important, polemic work...this should provoke overdue self-examination among observers of the ex-USSR.
