Lenin’s Tomb

**Winner of the Pulitzer Prize** * *One of the Best Books of the Year:* The New York Times * * * From the editor of *The New Yorker* : a riveting account of the collapse of the Soviet Union, which has become the standard book on the subject. *Lenin’s Tomb* combines the global vision of the best historical scholarship with the immediacy of eyewitness journalism. Remnick takes us through the tumultuous 75-year period of Communist rule leading up to the collapse and gives us the voices of those who lived through it, from democratic activists to Party members, from anti-Semites to Holocaust survivors, from Gorbachev to Yeltsin to Sakharov. An extraordinary history of an empire undone, *Lenin’s Tomb* stands as essential reading for our times. *** * * *
