General Interest Uncivil Society: 1989 and the Implosion of the Communist Establishment Product Details: Category: Books ISBN: 0679642765 Title: Uncivil Society: 1989 and the Implosion of the Communist Establishment The Fast Free Shipping Author: Stephen Kotkin Publisher: Modern Library Year Published: 2009 Number of Pages: 240 Book Binding: Hardback Prizes: N/A Book Condition: WELLREAD SKU: CIN0679642765A Item description Twenty years ago, the Berlin Wall fell. In one of modern history's most miraculous occurrences, communism imploded-and not with a bang, but with a whimper. Now two of the foremost scholars of East European and Soviet affairs, Stephen Kotkin and Jan T. Gross, drawing upon two decades of reflection, revisit this crash. In a crisp, concise, unsentimental narrative, they employ three case studies-East Germany, Romania, and Poland-to illuminate what led Communist regimes to surrender, or to be swept away in political bank runs. This is less a story of dissidents, so-called civil society, than of the bankruptcy of a ruling class-communism's establishment, or -uncivil society.
