This is mighty tome, and sometimes dull, but a must read for those who think Communism was not dangerous or is not still around. Responsible for far more murders than Hitler, this brand of socialism has been in a large amount of countries and in each one, many people who do not want it are slaughtered without mercy. It still exists today, and many people still believe in it and want to enforce it on the countries which have not suffered from it. It may take a while to read this, but you will find that after finishing, you will do anything to make sure it does not raise it's ugly head again. recommended.
