About the Book

When The Great Terror was first published in 1968, it was universally acclaimed as one of the most important books ever written about the Soviet Union. Now, in this revised and updated edition, Robert Conquest uses fresh and dramatic material, which has only recently become available, to give further depth and breadth to his history of the momentous years between 1934 and 1939, when millions of people died in Stalin's purges. His reassessment of its significance confirms the Terror as one of the most tragic and far-reaching human and political issues of our time.

About the Author :
One of Britain's most respected historians, Robert Conquest is an acclaimed novelist, poet, critic and reviewer, as well as being the author of such works as the best-selling Harvest of Sorrow, in the Ukranian collectivisation and the famines, and the first full-length examination of the Kirov assassination, Stalin and the Kirov Murder.

Review :
"A very important book. No one has written about Stalin's terror so deeply" -- Milovan Djilas "More than any other writer, Conquest has been responsible for bringing to the attention of the West the extent of the crimes commited against humanity in the name of Soviet communism" Sunday Times "Stalin was not only the master criminal; he was the mast concealer. It took a master detective and a poet, like Mr. Conquest, to unmask him completely" New York Times "Monumental" Washington Post "I know of no other work of modern history to which it can be compared. Robert Conquest deserves the thanks of humanity. The Great Terror is a major contribution to civilisation; and I urge anyone who considers themselves civilised, or even capable of becoming so, to read this mighty and dreadful, fervent and controlled, just and merciless, rolling and detailed, timely and prophetic and - above all - most necessary book" -- Bernard Levin
