Communism. A Historical Summary by Richard Pipes. Translated by Jakob F. Ásgeirsson and Margrét Gunnarsdóttir.
The book describes the theoretical foundations of communism, discusses the first ideas about a propertyless society and how communism became a theoretical theory of the abolition of private property and armed revolution. It traces the history of communism in Russia and discusses the governance of Lenin and Stalin, collectivization, the Great Threat, the decline of the communist regime and its fall in Europe. It describes the history of communism on a global scale, its spread to China and developing countries, its reception in the West and the Cold War. Finally, it attempts to delve into why communism failed and explains the human sacrifices that communism exacted from the rest of the world in the 20th century. (Bókatíðindi 2005).
