Stalinism for All Seasons: A Political History of Romanian Communism Volume 11 Hardcover - 2003 - 1st Edition
by Vladimir Tismaneanu
From the rear cover
"A penetrating and insightful 'deconstruction' of a highly idiosyncratic offspring of the Stalinist era."--Zbigniew Brzezinski, former National Security Advisor, and author of The Grand Chessboard
"This is the definitive work on Romanian communism, a thoroughly documented and highly readable history, starting with the underground Romanian Communist Party of the l920s and then through the creation of a Stalinist Soviet satellite state in the 1940s and finally to the post-Stalin regime of Gheorghiu-Dej and the militantly Stalinist anti-reform regime of Ceausescu and its violent demise in l989."--Robert C. Tucker, author of Stalin in Power: The Revolution from Above, 1928-1941
"This superb work of scholarship reads like a thriller. Professor Tismaneanu's familiarity with the intricacies of the Stalinist mind, his knowledge of the shadowy players, and his access to never-before studied secret archives, make this book much more than a study of Romanian communism. This is a passionate exploration of the mechanisms of the totalitarian mind and a tragic epic of the corruption of idealism by ruthless power. The Cold War may be over, but the conflicts engagingly narrated here hold universal and timely truths."--Andrei Codrescu, NPR commentator and author of it was today: new poems
"Tismaneanu does more than analytically dissect the Romanian Communist Party's political odyssey. He inspects and detects its peculiar ethos: the social, psychological, experimental dimensions and political expressions of its pariah self-conception."--Ken Jowitt, author of New World Disorder: The Leninist Extinction
