Lenin’s Tomb: The Last Days of the Soviet Empire

Lenin's Tomb won the Pulitzer Prize and was named one of the Best Books of the Year by The New York Times. A riveting account of the collapse of the Soviet Union, 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.
