O box do renomado autor Robert Service reúne as três biografias essenciais para compreender a ascensão do comunismo no século XX. As biografias reunidas neste box exploram a trajetória de três personalidades que mudaram o século XX e cuja influência não pode ser subestimada. Com base em documentos históricos, diários, cartas, jornais, panfletos, testemunhos pessoais e arquivos até então inexplorados de Moscou e da Instituição Hoover, Robert Service usou seu vasto conhecimento da história russa para analisar as origens da União Soviética a partir dos perfis de seus principais personagens: Lenin, Stalin e Trotski. Não só a Revolução de Outubro, as ideias do marxismo, o estado unipartidário e a política econômica comunista são esmiuçados nessas obras — em uma investigação sobre um Estado e uma sociedade que não desapareceram inteiramente após o colapso do regime soviético em 1991 —, mas também os clichês românticos e mitologias que envolvem essas figuras, aqui em seu retrato mais humano e verossímil. O resultado é um estudo fascinante e obrigatório aos que preferem conhecer os homens e suas ideias sem filtros ideológicos. Lenin: a biografia definitiva Lenin é uma figural colossal, cuja influência na história do século XX não pode ser subestimada. Nesta biografia meticulosa e definitiva desse líder político estranhamene evasivo, Robert Service investiga as origens da União Soviética e elucida a natureza do Estado e da sociedade deixados por Lenin. Stalin: uma biografia Com uma imagem convencional de administrador político inculto e inexplicavelmente transformado em assassino patológico, Stalin tem uma história mais complexa e fascinante. Sem diminuir os horrores do stalinismo, este livro apresenta um relato ainda mais perturbador por apresentar uma visão humana e verossímil de Stalin — o seu retrato mais abrangente e atraente até hoje. Trotski: uma biografia Este livro é a primeira biografia completa de Trotski a ser escrita, fora da Rússia, por um autor que não é trotskista. Oferece, portanto, uma leitura imparcial de Leon Trotski, líder com papel principal na criação da União Soviética. Com uma abordagem investigativa, Robert Service questiona os clichês românticos que pairam sobre ele, como o da revolucionário intelectual martirizado por Stalin e o da alma pura e humanitária perseguida injustamente. O resultado é um livro magistral.

" Do autor de Lenin: A biografia definitiva, a organização e a ideologia do comunismo no mundo Em Camaradas, Robert Service inicia sua análise crítica com Karl Marx e Vladimir Lenin, passando por Mao Tsé-tung, Fidel Castro e vários outros protagonistas de acontecimentos mundiais decisivos, oferecendo ao leitor um verdadeiro panorama da história do comunismo mundial. Sem se restringir apenas a discorrer sobre a política das altas esferas de poder dos regimes, Service apresenta também as condições sociais que levaram milhões de pessoas a apoiar o comunismo em muitos países. Na sequência, ao realizar uma acurada investigação acerca dos regimes de longa duração (como o da extinta Iugoslávia e o de Cuba) e abordar o fracasso de algumas revoluções comunistas (como a da Hungria, em 1919, e a dos ineficientes partidos comunistas dos Estados Unidos), seu estudo crítico esmiúça as ligações internacionais que conectam centenas de organizações até os dias atuais. Mais de duas décadas após o colapso do comunismo na Europa oriental e na extinta União Soviética, Robert Service abraça a tarefa de examinar essa doutrina econômica e sociopolítica. Baseando-se em ricas e fidedignas fontes de informação, inclusive com novos documentos, o autor nos apresenta uma visão humanizada sobre o assunto, bem como um resumo crítico do fenômeno comunista global.

Revolutionary practitioner, theorist, factional chief, sparkling writer, ‘ladies’ man’ (e.g., his affair with Frieda Kahlo), icon of the Revolution, anti-Jewish Jew, philosopher of everyday life, grand seigneur of his household, father and hunted victim, Trotsky lived a brilliant life in extraordinary times. Robert Service draws on hitherto unexamined archives and on his profound understanding of Russian history to draw a portrait of the man and his legacy, revealing that though his followers have represented Trotsky as a pure revolutionary soul and a powerful intellect unjustly hounded into exile by Stalin and his henchmen. The reality is very different, as this masterful and compelling biography reveals.

“The best and the most accessible one-volume history of communism now available . . . A far-reaching, vividly written account.” —Foreign Affairs In The Red Flag, Oxford professor David Priestland tells the epic story of a movement that has taken root in dozens of countries across two hundred years, from its birth after the French Revolution to its ideological maturity in nineteenth-century Germany to its rise to dominance (and subsequent fall) in the twentieth century. Beginning with the first modern Communists in the age of Robespierre, Priestland examines the motives of thinkers and leaders including Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Castro, Che Guevara, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Gorbachev, and many others. Priestland also shows how Communism, in all its varieties, appealed to different societies for different reasons, in some as a response to inequalities and in others more out of a desire to catch up with the West. But paradoxically, while destroying one web of inequality, Communist leaders were simultaneously weaving another. It was this dynamic, together with widespread economic failure and an escalating loss of faith in the system, that ultimately destroyed Soviet Communism itself. At a time when global capitalism is in crisis and powerful new political forces have arisen to confront Western democracy, The Red Flag is essential reading if we are to apply the lessons of the past to navigating the future. “Detailed and scholarly but written in lively prose, this is a rich, satisfying account of the most successful utopian political movement in history.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

On 20th August 1940 Trotsky’s life was brutally ended when a Stalinist agent brought an ice pick crashing down on his head. Among the works left unfinished was the second part of his biography of Stalin. Trotsky’s Stalin is unique in Marxist literature in that it attempts to explain some of the most decisive events of the 20th century, not just in terms of epoch-making economic and social transformations, but in the individual psychology of one of the protagonists in a great historical drama. It is a fascinating study of the way in which the peculiar character of an individual, his personal traits and psychology, interacts with great events. How did it come about that Stalin, who began his political life as a revolutionary and a Bolshevik, ended as a tyrant and a monster? Was this something pre-ordained by genetic factors or childhood upbringing? Drawing on a mass of carefully assembled material from his personal archives and many other sources, Trotsky provides the answer to these questions. In the present edition we have brought together all the material that was available from the Trotsky archives in English and supplemented it with additional material translated from Russian. It is the most complete version of the book that has ever been published.

The terrible conflict that dominated the mid 19th century, the Crimean War killed at least 800,000 men and pitted Russia against a formidable coalition of Britain, France and the Ottoman Empire. It was a war for territory, provoked by fear that if the Ottoman Empire were to collapse then Russia could control a huge swathe of land from the Balkans to the Persian Gulf. But it was also a war of religion, driven by a fervent, populist and ever more ferocious belief by the Tsar and his ministers that it was Russia's task to rule all Orthodox Christians and control the Holy Land. Orlando Figes' major new book reimagines this extraordinary war, in which the stakes could not have been higher and which was fought with a terrible mixture of ferocity and incompetence. It was both a recognisably modern conflict - the first to be extensively photographed, the first to employ the telegraph, the first 'newspaper war' - and a traditional one, with illiterate soldiers, amateur officers and huge casualties caused by disease. Drawing on a huge range of fascinating sources, Figes also gives the lived experience of the war, from that of the ordinary British soldier in his snow-filled trench, to the haunted, gloomy, narrow figure of Tsar Nicholas himself as he vows to take on the whole world in his hunt for religious salvation.

A magnificent new biography that revolutionizes our understanding of Stalin and his world It has the quality of myth: a poor cobbler’s son, a seminarian from an oppressed outer province of the Russian empire, reinvents himself as a top leader in a band of revolutionary zealots. When the band seizes control of the country in the aftermath of total world war, the former seminarian ruthlessly dominates the new regime until he stands as absolute ruler of a vast and terrible state apparatus, with dominion over Eurasia. While still building his power base within the Bolshevik dictatorship, he embarks upon the greatest gamble of his political life and the largest program of social reengineering ever attempted: the collectivization of all agriculture and industry across one sixth of the earth. Millions will die, and many more millions will suffer, but the man will push through to the end against all resistance and doubts. Where did such power come from? In Stalin, Stephen Kotkin offers a biography that, at long last, is equal to this shrewd, sociopathic, charismatic dictator in all his dimensions. The character of Stalin emerges as both astute and blinkered, cynical and true believing, people oriented and vicious, canny enough to see through people but prone to nonsensical beliefs. We see a man inclined to despotism who could be utterly charming, a pragmatic ideologue, a leader who obsessed over slights yet was a precocious geostrategic thinker—unique among Bolsheviks—and yet who made egregious strategic blunders. Through it all, we see Stalin’s unflinching persistence, his sheer force of will—perhaps the ultimate key to understanding his indelible mark on history. Stalin gives an intimate view of the Bolshevik regime’s inner geography of power, bringing to the fore fresh materials from Soviet military intelligence and the secret police. Kotkin rejects the inherited wisdom about Stalin’s psychological makeup, showing us instead how Stalin’s near paranoia was fundamentally political, and closely tracks the Bolshevik revolution’s structural paranoia, the predicament of a Communist regime in an overwhelmingly capitalist world, surrounded and penetrated by enemies. At the same time, Kotkin demonstrates the impossibility of understanding Stalin’s momentous decisions outside of the context of the tragic history of imperial Russia. The product of a decade of intrepid research, Stalin is a landmark achievement, a work that recasts the way we think about the Soviet Union, revolution, dictatorship, the twentieth century, and indeed the art of history itself. Stalin: Waiting for Hitler, 1929-1941 will be published by Penguin Press in October 2017
