Reviews
This book is an engrossing study of why men join a Communist party and the reasons why they are eventually compelled to resign... Engerman has done an admirable job of explaining the context of this work., "An important contribution to our understanding of Communism in its full dimensions and awful depths." -- New York Herald Tribune, "Worth reading, and rereading, for its interest both as a classic historical document and as a haunting object lesson." -- Norman Podhoretz, Encounter, The story of the emotions which drew such men to Communism and of the events which disillusioned them states concretely and compellingly the great issues of our time., "The story of the emotions which drew such men to Communism and of the events which disillusioned them states concretely and compellingly the great issues of our time." -- The Saturday Review of Literature, Worth reading, and rereading, for its interest both as a classic historical document and as a haunting object lesson., "The moving power of their several chronicles derives not merely from the unity of the theme embodied in significant variations but also from the reader's sense that they are recording a tragedy in which all of us have been involved." -- Reinhold Niebuhr, The Nation, "To understand the Cold War and the character of Stalinism, The God That Failedis a must read." -- Daniel Bell, An Important Contribution to Our Understanding of Communism in Its Full Dimensions and Awful Depths., The moving power of their several chronicles derives not merely from the unity of the theme embodied in significant variations but also from the reader's sense that they are recording a tragedy in which all of us have been involved., "This book is an engrossing study of why men join a Communist party and the reasons why they are eventually compelled to resign...

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

Quality and hard to find book that won't be released 'til January 2025 in the U.S.A.
Fantastic price.
Book was in a secure and protective package. Arrived a few days after I placed order and that was faster than I expected.
Seller is a fantastic communicator and proactive in regards to tracking status. I'd definitely buy from them in the future.

I was pleasantly surprised by how soon I received this textbook given that it shipped from outside the U.S. It was packaged well with no damage. The price was right. And I greatly appreciated the communication informing me where the book was shipping from and including a tracking number. Overall, a positive experience, - online shopping the way it should be. I've bought books from this seller several times now without any complaints and will surely buy from them again. Thanks a lot!
