Mao Tse Tung - Mao's Road to Power, Revolutionary Writings 1912-1949, New Democracy 1939-1941, Vol.7 (2004).jpg

By January 1939, following the Sixth Plenum, Mao had emerged as the most important single leader of the Chinese Communist Party, but had not yet reached the towering status that he achieved following the Rectification Campaign and the Seventh Congress. During the years 1939-1941, conditions became increasingly difficult for the Communists, both because of intensified Japanese efforts at "pacification", and because of deteriorating relations with the Guomindang. This volume contains extensive documentation about the Guomindang onslaught against the New Fourth Army in 1941, and Mao's response to it. It also examines foreign affairs, as Mao struggled to come to terms with contradictory developments such as the Nazi-Soviet pact of August 1939, the Soviet-Japanese non-aggression pact of April 1941, Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union, and war between Japan and the United States.

The King of Communism (Nicolae Ceausescu).avi

Nicolae Ceausescu created a unique personality cult in the 1970s and 1980s, transforming communist Romania into one of the strangest regimes Europe has ever seen. Newspapers had to mention his name 40 times on every page, factory workers spent months rehearsing dance routines dressed as soldiers and gymnasts for huge shows at which thousands of citizens were lined up to form the words Nicolae Ceausescu with their bodies.

When the Romanian economy and living standards plummeted in the 1980s, the line between theatre and life blurred completely. Ceausescu went on working visits to the countryside where he inspected displays of meat and fruit made out of polystyrene, and closer to home began work on what would have been the largest palace in the world. At the final parade in 1989, workers walked past their leader to the sound of taped chants and applause.

Using Ceausescu's own archive of 35mm propaganda films, King of Communism offers a surprising and chilling view of the absurd world of the Romanian dictator's regime.

"This is a real-life communist version of Springtime for Hitler," says director Ben Lewis. "It's an all-singing, all-dancing unmasking of the illusions of communism, but it's also a serious study of the experience, effects and legacy of the twentieth century's most destructive political system."

Lisa A. Kirschenbaum - The Legacy of the Siege of Leningrad, 1941-1995, Myth, Memories, and Monument s (2006).jpg

communism - Lisa A. Kirschenbaum - The Legacy of the Siege of Leni...ingrad, 1941-1995, Myth, Memories, and Monuments 2006.jpg

The siege of Leningrad constituted one of the most dramatic episodes of World War II, one that individuals and the state began to commemorate almost immediately. Official representations of 'heroic Leningrad' omitted and distorted a great deal. Nonetheless, survivors struggling to cope with painful memories often internalized, even if they did not completely accept, the state's myths, and they often found their own uses for the state's monuments. Tracing the overlap and interplay of individual memories and fifty years of Soviet mythmaking, the book contributes to understandings of both the power of Soviet identities and the de-legitimizing potential of the Soviet Union's chief legitimizing myths. Because besieged Leningrad blurred the boundaries between the largely male battlefront and the predominantly female home front, it offers a unique vantage point for a study of the gendered dimensions of the war experience, urban space, individual memory, and public commemoration.

Odd Westad - The Third Indochina War, Conflict bet ween China, Vietnam and Cambodia, 1972-79 (2006).jpg

This new collection of essays develops an international history of the Third Indochina War with participants from many different countries and scholarly traditions, building on fresh research of the last ten years, including new work carried out in Vietnam.
The wars between Vietnam, China and Cambodia at the end of the 1970s redefined international relations in Eastern Asia to a larger degree than any other set of events since the American opening to China. However, there have been few attempts at revisiting the causes and effects of these wars since scholars started having access to Russian and (to a lesser extent) Chinese sources in the early 1990s. Among the key issues discussed are the intellectual origins of Khmer Rouge nationalism, the effects of political and social changes in Vietnam in the years after reunification, China's redefinition of its aims in Southeast Asia, and the effects of changes in the international policies of the United States on the region.
The book will be of great interest to students of Vietnam, international history, Cold War studies and Asian politics in general.

Slava Gerovitch - From Newspeak to Cyberspeak, A H istory of Soviet Cybernetics (2002).jpg

In this book, Slava Gerovitch argues that Soviet cybernetics was not just an intellectual trend but a social movement for radical reform in science and society as a whole. Followers of cybernetics viewed computer simulation as a universal method of problem solving and the language of cybernetics as a language of objectivity and truth. With this new objectivity, they challenged the existing order of things in economics and politics as well as in science.
The history of Soviet cybernetics followed a curious arc. In the 1950s it was labeled a reactionary pseudoscience and a weapon of imperialist ideology. With the arrival of Khrushchev's political "thaw," however, it was seen as an innocent victim of political oppression, and it evolved into a movement for radical reform of the Stalinist system of science. In the early 1960s it was hailed as "science in the service of communism," but by the end of the decade it had turned into a shallow fashionable trend. Using extensive new archival materials, Gerovitch argues that these fluctuating attitudes reflected profound changes in scientific language and research methodology across disciplines, in power relations within the scientific community, and in the political role of scientists and engineers in Soviet society. His detailed analysis of scientific discourse shows how the Newspeak of the late Stalinist period and the Cyberspeak that challenged it eventually blended into "CyberNewspeak."

Anonymous - A Woman in Berlin (A Wartime Diary of the Russian Occupation) (2006) Read by Diana Bisho p.jpeg

From April 20th, 1945, the day when Berlin first saw the face of war, until June 22nd, when it was sacked by the Russian Army, the anonymous author of A Woman in Berlin captured the stark reality of life within the falling city. Fending off the boredom and deprivation of hiding, the author recorded her experiences, observations and meditations in this vivid diary. Accounts of the bombing, the rapes, the rationing of food and the overwhelming terror of death are rendered in the dispassionate, though determinedly optimistic prose of a woman fighting for survival amidst the horror and inhumanity of war...

Carol Kerven - Prospects for Pastoralism in Kazaks tan and Turkmenistan, From State Farms to Private Flocks (2003).jpg

communism - Carol Kerven - Prospects for Pastoralism in Kazakstan ... Turkmenistan, From State Farms to Private Flocks 2003.jpg

Pastoralism has an ancient heritage in the vast natural pastures of Central Asia. These pastoral systems were profoundly altered after the incorporation of Kazakstan and Turkmenistan into the Soviet Union. Pastoralists were collectivized into state farms, building an industrialized nomadism, which was highly productive while preserving elements of the pastoral systems. Independence from the Soviet Union then brought new policies, which reorganized the state farms and removed state support in what has been termed the 'second revolution'.
This collection traces how pastoralists have coped with the challenge of change in a part of the world with a long-tradition of livestock keeping. Their precarious position-balanced between a market system where only the fittest may survive, and their attempt to remain a human resource for the future development of the natural pastures and livestock industry-is carefully and critically examined by the contributors. The pastoralists' unique skill at managing livestock in a variable and challenging environment, and their ability to supply commodities much in demand mean that an understanding of their societal position is essential for anyone interested in transition in the former Soviet Union.

communism - Baruch Hirson, Arthur J. Knodel, Gregor Benton - Repor...e Chinese Revolution, The Letters of Rayna Prohme 2007.jpg

This is a unique account of the Chinese Revolution, seen through the eyes of American journalist Rayna Prohme. Prohme and her husband edited the Kuomintang's English-language newspaper in Wuhan. Her account of her intimate involvement in the Chinese Revolution brings to life the eventful Wuhan years of 1926-27. Her letters illuminate from a personal angle the battle for China's future. They include remarkable portraits of some of the people who shaped the Communist and Nationals movements of the time. The book consists of letters Prohme wrote to her closest friend and her husband in the period immediately before, during, and after the Wuhan Interlude. Her reporting brought her into contact with many major political figures, including Madam Sun Yat-sen (a prominent figure in the op position to Chiang Kai-shek) and Mikhail Borodin (a chief Soviet advisor in China). This book provides an unusual and often moving insight into a fascinating period in modern Chinese history.

communism - Peter Apor, Oksana Sarkisova - Past for the Eyes, East...ns of Communism in Cinema and Museums after 1989 2008.jpg

How do museums and cinema shape the image of the Communist past in today s Central and Eastern Europe? This volume is the first systematic analysis of how visual techniques are used to understand and put into context the former regimes. After history ended in the Eastern Bloc in 1989, museums and other memorials mushroomed all over the region. These efforts tried both to explain the meaning of this lost history, as well as to shape public opinion on their society s shared post-war heritage. Museums and films made political use of recollections of the recent past, and employed selected museum, memorial, and media tools and tactics to make its political intent historically credible. Thirteen essays from scholars around the region take a fresh look at the subject as they address the strategies of fashioning popular perceptions of the recent past.

V. Brovkin - Russia After Lenin, Politics, Culture and Society, 1921-1929 (1998).jpg

In Russian After Lenin, Vladimir Brovkin offers a comprehensive cultural, political, economic and social history of developments in Russia in the 1920s.
By examining the contrast between Bolshevik propaganda claims and social reality, Brovkin explains how Communist representations were variously received and resisted by workers, peasants, students, women, teachers and party officials. He presents a picture of cultural diversity and rejection of Communist constraints through many means including unauthorized protest, religion, jazz music and poetry. Brovkin argues that these trends endangered the Communist Party's monopoly on political power and argues that the Stalinist revolution can be seen as a preemptive strike against this independent and vibrant society.

Deborah Welch Larson - Anatomy of Mistrust, U.S.-S oviet Relations During the Cold War (1997).jpg

Professor Larson is a gifted author who has meticulously combed through literally hundreds of sources to illuminate a pattern of foreign policy frequently characterized by mistrust, and, more importantly, missed opportunities. This book should not be mistaken for a revisionist historian's attempt to re-write the past with the advantage of hindsight. Further scrutiny will reveal it to be a compelling depiction of world events through the lens of social psychology. World leaders are human and humans make decisions both rational, based on facts and logic, and sometimes irrational, based on schemas and episodic scripts. For those interested in the history and psychology of the decisions that led up to the Cold War, check out this author's earlier work, Origins of Containment

Chen Jian - Mao's China and the Cold War (2000).jpg

The author, formerly a student in Shanghai and at Southern Illinois University, uses primary sources from Chinese archival materials to provide new information on and analysis of Chinese leader Mao Zedong's behavior during the Cold War. Chen takes further the current literature on Chinese security interests (see Andrew J. Nathan and Robert S. Ross's The Great Wall and the Empty Fortress, LJ 7/97; for Mao's life, see Philip Short's Mao: A Life, LJ 11/15/99, and Ross Terrill's Mao Zedong: A Biography, Stanford Univ., 2000) and presents two important points: First, he argues that Mao made decisions primarily based on his ability to promote "continuous revolution" in China and bolster his own power. And, second, he asserts that Mao used the Chinese people's "victim mentality" (i.e., the feeling that foreign powers were poised to take unfair advantage of China's vulnerabilities) to rally public opinion. The author investigates several case studies, including the rise of the Cold War, America's "loss" of China, the Sino-Soviet alliance, the Korean War, the first and second Indochina War, the Polish-Hungarian crisis, and the Taiwan Strait crisis. We are fortunate to have this book because of the author's analysis and use of sources that are not generally available to non-Chinese. Highly recommended for all academic libraries and public libraries with international relations collections.
