Book excerpt: "This book presents a probing interpretation of the Leninist party-state as an ideological civilization that arose in the twentieth century, assumed diverse forms across space and time, and is now passing into history. Jowitt is very original and perhaps prophetic in sketching the consequences of Communism's 'extinction' for the West, the Third World, and Eastern Europe itself."—Robert C. Tucker, author of Stalin in Power "Full of brilliant flashes of insight . . . a truly masterful job, clearly the work of an erudite and unconventional scholar."—Dorothy J. Solinger, author of Chinese Business Under Socialism
