Who knows what one may come up with? You may start out with the Communists and end up with yourself. --Vladimir Bukovsky\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBukovsky's \u003cem\u003eJudgment in Moscow\u003c\/em\u003e, called stunning by Richard Pipes and a massive and major contribution by Robert Conquest, has been published for the first time in English. Margaret Thatcher gave a grant to support the writing of the book, and the initial publication in Russia was paid for by Aleksander Solzhenitsyn. The book has an introduction by Edward Lucas and an afterword by David Satter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the collapse of the Soviet Union, legendary Soviet dissident Vladimir Bukovsky had the opportunity to steal thousands of classified documents from the Soviet archives. \u003cem\u003eJudgment in Moscow\u003c\/em\u003e is about the secrets exposed by those documents. It reveals the inner workings of the Soviet regime and the complicity of many in the West with that regime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJudgment in Moscow\u003c\/em\u003e was an international bestseller published in nine languages, but has only now been published in English for the first time. It was previously at Random House, but Bukovsky refused to rewrite parts of the book which accused prominent Westerners of behind-the-scenes dealings with the Soviets. In this edition, the author quotes correspondence with his editor, who says, I don't disagree, but I simply can't publish a book that accuses Americans like Cyrus Vance and Francis Ford Coppola of unpatriotic -- or even treacherous -- behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVladimir Bukovsky uses the Kremlin's own documents to show how the Soviet Union provided a false face to the world and how Soviet leaders used Western leaders as dupes or willing actors. \u003cem\u003eJudgment in Moscow\u003c\/em\u003e provides the written Nuremberg trial the Soviets never got when the USSR fell. --Anne Applebaum, author of \u003cem\u003eGulag: A History\u003c\/em\u003e (Pulitzer Prize)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn essential warning of the dangers of collaborating with authoritarian regimes. -- Garry Kasparov, former world chess champion and author of \u003cem\u003eWinter is Coming\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe most important work to appear for decades on the Soviet empire and its aftermath. -- Edward Lucas, former senior editor of the \u003cem\u003eEconomist\u003c\/em\u003e, from the introduction\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49565417931025,"sku":"GOR010729887","price":10.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49849461604625,"sku":"CIN0998041610G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49893500551441,"sku":"CIN0998041610A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51011750134033,"sku":"NIN9780998041612","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52586493411601,"sku":"NLS9780998041612","price":18.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0998041610.jpg?v=1751267277","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/judgment-in-moscow-book-vladimir-bukovsky-9780998041612","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
