Product Information
This classic work and crucial document of the Cold War brings together essays by six of the most important writers of the twentieth century, including Andr Gide, Richard Wright, Ignazio Silone, Stephen Spender, Arthur Koestler, and Louis Fischer, on their conversion to and subsequent disillusionment with communism. In describing their own experiences, the authors illustrate the fate of leftism around the world.

This book is an engrossing study of why men join a Communist party and the reasons why they are eventually compelled to resign... Engerman has done an admirable job of explaining the context of this work., "An important contribution to our understanding of Communism in its full dimensions and awful depths." -- New York Herald Tribune, "Worth reading, and rereading, for its interest both as a classic historical document and as a haunting object lesson." -- Norman Podhoretz, Encounter, The story of the emotions which drew such men to Communism and of the events which disillusioned them states concretely and compellingly the great issues of our time., "The story of the emotions which drew such men to Communism and of the events which disillusioned them states concretely and compellingly the great issues of our time." -- The Saturday Review of Literature, Worth reading, and rereading, for its interest both as a classic historical document and as a haunting object lesson., "The moving power of their several chronicles derives not merely from the unity of the theme embodied in significant variations but also from the reader's sense that they are recording a tragedy in which all of us have been involved." -- Reinhold Niebuhr, The Nation, "To understand the Cold War and the character of Stalinism, The God That Failedis a must read." -- Daniel Bell, An Important Contribution to Our Understanding of Communism in Its Full Dimensions and Awful Depths., The moving power of their several chronicles derives not merely from the unity of the theme embodied in significant variations but also from the reader's sense that they are recording a tragedy in which all of us have been involved., "This book is an engrossing study of why men join a Communist party and the reasons why they are eventually compelled to resign...

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

The seller is one of the best there is - high quality books, reasonable prices, securely packaged.
I do, however, recommend some changes to their shipping - they show a shipper (SortHub) on eBay, but the tracking # they email is for a different carrier. It’s difficult to know where my purchase is.
This time, it was delivered a week late. In the grand scheme of things not a big deal. But it shouldn’t be this difficult to accurately track my purchase.
