The Great Terror

The Great Terror by Robert Conquest is a definitive work on Stalin's purges, called "brilliant" and a "work of scholarship and literary craftsmanship". Conquest blends profound research with evocative prose to provide gripping accounts of everything from the three great "Moscow Trials" to life in the labor camps. This updated edition features a new preface by Conquest and new material published in Moscow and elsewhere, making it the key study of one of the twentieth century's most lethal offenses against humanity.
