Stalinism

by Graeme J. Gill

Published 18 April 1990
This book analyses Stalinism in its varied dimensions, breaking down some of the stereotypes which have abounded in our understanding of this phenomenon. As well as bringing rigour and consistency to our understanding of the meaning of Stalinism, it tackles the central question of the origins of this system. In doing so it surveys the broad body of writing on this topic, and suggest that many existing explanations are flawed.
