Revealed along the way is the dark underside of a regime whose march toward supremacy resulted in the loss of tens of millions of lives."--Jacket.
For nearly 75 years, the Soviet Union controlled Eastern Europe with an iron fist.

This book accounts the significant details of key historical events as well as the overriding international political environment during each period.
