From the Back Cover:

In Communism, Ferdinand Mount has gathered fifty-two articles in which the most influential Western analysts, expressing opinions from the dismissive to the ecstatic, react to the unfolding drama in the East. Articles on the Russian Revolution, the rise and fall of Soviet leaders and cultural heroes, and the sudden collapse of the Soviet system reflect successive Western attitudes to the communism phenomenon.
