MY SAY: THE HUNDRED YEAR DELUSION
Posted By Ruth King on November 7th, 2017
It is hard to think that in spite of incontrovertible evidence of the horrors of a century of Communism, there are still those who insist that Communism is a noble ideology that was hijacked by the world’s tyrants.
The great English-American historian and poet Robert Conquest who died in 2015 wrote two magnificent books on Soviet history and barbarity.
-
The Great Terror: Stalin’s Purge of the Thirties
-
The Harvest of Sorrow: Soviet Collectivization and the Terror-Famine
Upon his death, The Wall Street Journal’s deadline was:
Robert Conquest, Seminal Historian of Soviet Misrule, Dies at 98
The Economist added: “What the West, and the Soviet Union’s victims, owe to Robert Conquest- His greatest work was chronicling chapters of the Soviet nightmare which had been cloaked first in secrecy and then in shame.”
P.S. They don’t read that in colleges…the watch fawning movies about Che Guevara instead.
