Book Description
In October of 1967, on the eve of the fiftieth anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution, the Hoover Institution at Stanford University sponsored a week-long conference on "Fifty Years of Communism in Russia." In addition to the United States, participants came from Great Britain, Germany, France, and Canada--and the Soviet Embassy in Washington was also concerned enough to send several observers. The papers included in this volume give a well rounded picture of all aspects of the first fifty years of Soviet history: Bertram D. Wolfe, "Marxism and the Russian Revolution"; Leonard Schapiro, "The Basis and Development of the Soviet Polity"; G. Warren Nutter, "The Soviet Economy: Retrospect and Prospect", John N. Hazard, "Rigidity and Adaptability of Soviet Law"; Ivo J. Lederer, "Soviet Foreign Policy"; Jean Laloy, "Proletarian Internationalism", Raymond L. Garthoff, "Military Theory and Practice"; John Turkevich, "Fifty Years of Soviet Science"; Max Hayward, "Themes and Democratic Challenge to Communism."

Focusing on how women, peasants and orphans responded to Bolshevk attempts to remake the family, this text reveals how, by 1936, legislation designed to liberate women had given way to increasingly conservative solutions strengthening traditional family values.

Book Description
The First World War, the Second World War, and the Cold War are episodes of a wider conflict, called here “The Seventy-Five Years War,” dominated the twentieth century. Both unresolved issues and new issues from the First World War carry over into the next conflict, which in turn led immediately to the Cold War. While this great conflict can be viewed from different perspectives, this book focuses on the role of the Papacy. From the stateless Benedict XV’s attempts to call a peace conference, to the establishment of Vatican City and the restoration of sovereignty, to the struggles of Pius XI and Pius XII with both Fascism and Communism, and the contributions of John Paul II to the collapse of Communism, the Catholic Church was a part of this struggle. In addition to its humanitarian and pacifistic efforts from 1914 to 1989, the Catholic Church was also engaged in an intense ideological struggle with atheistic communism. This conflict will often take priority over other ideological conflicts, such as that with Fascism, as well as complicate the Church’s mission in other parts of the world, such as Latin America and Asia.

Book Description
In the history of international relations, few events command as much attention as revolution and war. Over the centuries, revolutionary transformations have produced some of the most ruinous and bloody wars. Nevertheless, the breakdown of peace in time of revolution is poorly understood. Patrick Conge offers a groundbreaking study of the relationship between war and revolution. How can we best understand the effect of revolutionary transformations on the politics of war and peace? Conge argues that it is only by bringing in, first, the organizational capacity of revolutionary regimes to extract resources and convert them into military strength and, second, the power of transformative ideas to transcend national boundaries and undermine the ability of opposing regimes to compromise that we are best able to understand the effect of revolution on the origins and persistence of war. By incorporating such key elements, this book provides a new, more comprehensive explanation of the relationship between revolution, war, and peace. Conditions that lead to and sustain wars in general are identified and placed in the light of revolutionary transformations. Once the argument is presented, historical case studies are used to test its plausibility. Conge demonstrates the importance of the effect of revolutionary organization and ideas on the outcome of conflicts. Political scientists, historians, sociologists, and the general reader interested in the politics of war and peace in revolutionary times are given new perspectives on the relationship between revolution and war as well as on the implications of political organization for military power and the process of consolidation of new regimes. Patrick J. Conge is Assistant Professor of Political Science, University of Arkansas.

Book Description
In this accomplished biography of Vladimir Lenin, Ronald Clark fills in the gap left by political, economic and social historians: Lenin's personality. Clark introduces readers to Lenin, the man: an enthusiastic mountaineer with a sardonic sense of humor; an affectionate husband with a long-rumored affair. Clark examines and describes the personality of one of the most dedicated and single-minded political leaders of the 20th century.
