The great terror: a reassessment
Robert Conquest
 <http://books.google.nl/books?sitesec=reviews&id=16l79hfKMzEC>
Oxford University Press, 1991 - 584 pagina's
 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.



 The Gulag Archipelago: 1918-1956 : An Experiment in Literary Investigation,
V-VII

 Aleksandr Isaevich Solzhenit︠s︡yn, Thomas P. Whitney
WestviewPress, 1997 - 576 pagina's

 *The Gulag Archipelago *is Solzhenitsyn’s attempt to compile a
literary-historical record of the vast system of prisons and labor camps
that came into being shortly after the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia in
1917 and that underwent an enormous expansion during the rule of Stalin from
1924 to 1953. Various sections of the three volumes describe the arrest,
interrogation, conviction, transportation, and imprisonment of the Gulag’s
victims by Soviet authorities over four decades. The work mingles historical
exposition and Solzhenitsyn’s own autobiographical accounts with the
voluminous personal testimony of other inmates that he collected and
committed to memory during his imprisonment.Upon publication of the first
volume of *The Gulag Archipelago, *Solzhenitsyn was immediately attacked in
the Soviet press. Despite the intense interest in his fate that was shown in
the West, he was arrested and charged with treason on February 12, 1974, and
was exiled from the Soviet Union the following day.


 A Century of Violence in Soviet Russia
 Alexander N. Yakovlev, Anthony Austin, Paul Hollander

Yale University Press, 2004 - 272 pagina's
 The main architect of the concept of perestroika under Gorbachev, Alexander
N. Yakovlev played a unique role in the transformation of the Soviet Union.
Now, drawing on his own experiences and on his privileged access to state
and Party archives, he reflects on the evils of the system that shaped the
country he loves.
