Eugene Lyons "Workers' Paradise Lost."
For so many years, the criminal Soviet Russia has been the stage of a vast human tragedy. In this book, the Iron Curtain parts and the drama unfolds act by act; the Lenin's Bolshevik party seizure of power, the cration of a planned society, the purges and persecutions of people, the famines and the Siberian death camps, and the rise of a new communist aristocracy.
"Workers' Paradise Lost" is a drama of horror unequaled in history, but it is also a tribute to the quality and heroism of many of the peoples in the Soviet Union.
This is an excellent insight into the world of Soviet Russia. Eugene Lyons really put every argument in perspective. He really nails it as to explain why these criminal communist dictatorships lasted so long. Lyons separates the psychological aspects of the human wants and needs; as well as the needs of human dignity. The control by a bunch of criminal communists over the greater masses is well explained here.
