For socialists, this base of knowledge of the historical legacy of the most important revolutionary event in the 20th century, the Russian Revolution of 1917, is indispensable. -- Lawrence Rockwood, The Socialist WebZine, "[I]ncludes some truly insightful profiles of key figures. . . . [A] work well worth reading."-- Irving Louis Horowitz, Wilson Quarterly, Highly accessible, essay-style entries on the concepts, figures, events, movements, and organizations associated with international modern and postmodern Communist politics. . . . Each entry concludes a list of at least five further reading titles, offering researchers a springboard to subject-specific information., An ideologically and internationally diverse lot of contributors manage to keep the tone analytical and critical throughout, making this an insightful and essential reference for 20th-century studies. ---George M. Eberhart, College & Research Libraries News, This is a huge and useful enterprise. . . . Most of the leading figures of the history of communism, the communist parties, important institutions, ideological concepts, and political events are included in a well selected and concise form. This timely and important dictionary offers a broad historical and historiographical overview of twentieth century world communism. This is a significant step toward achieving the difficult task of encompassing communism as a historical phenomenon in its complexity., "For socialists, this base of knowledge of the historical legacy of the most important revolutionary event in the 20th century, the Russian Revolution of 1917, is indispensable."-- Lawrence Rockwood, The Socialist WebZine, "[A] monumental, engrossing, truly comprehensive encyclopaedia of world communism." --Vladimir Tismaneanu, International Affairs, "An ideologically and internationally diverse lot of contributors manage to keep the tone analytical and critical throughout, making this an insightful and essential reference for 20th-century studies."-- George M. Eberhart, College & Research Libraries News, "Highly accessible, essay-style entries on the concepts, figures, events, movements, and organizations associated with international modern and postmodern Communist politics. . . . Each entry concludes a list of at least five further reading titles, offering researchers a springboard to subject-specific information." --Savanna Schroll Guz, Library Journal, All the major names and events are covered, and an impressive variety of concepts or objects receive serious attention, too. . . . [T]he high quality of the prose, the distinguished community of authors, and the imaginative variety of topics covered will make this a worthwhile reference. ---Padraic Kenney, H-Net Reviews, "[A] monumental, engrossing, truly comprehensive encyclopaedia of world communism."-- Vladimir Tismaneanu, International Affairs, [ A ] Dictionary of 20th-Century Communism is rather different. Its entries are mostly very thorough and informative, and if one or two are written in a language that reflects the jargon of its subject, that is a small price to pay for an approach usefully empathetic to its unempathetic protagonists., For socialists, this base of knowledge of the historical legacy of the most important revolutionary event in the 20th century, the Russian Revolution of 1917, is indispensable. ---Lawrence Rockwood, The Socialist WebZine, " A Dictionary of 20th-Century Communism promises to be immensely helpful to both teachers and students of world history. . . .

The volume's strengths lie in its strong coverage of European communism and its willingness to discuss the theoretical and philosophical ideas of its subjects., Access to archives in the former Soviet Union and its satellites behind the iron curtain has enabled the 160 scholars who contributed articles to this compendium to present information formerly out of the reach of all but a few in those countries. . . .
