The Dissidents by Peter Reddaway
It has been nearly three decades since the collapse of the Soviet Union - enough time for the role that the courageous dissidents ultimately contributed to the communist system's collapse to have been largely forgotten. This book brings to life, for contemporary readers, the often underground work of the men and women who opposed the regime.
Peter Reddaway is a professor emeritus of political science and international affairs at George Washington University. He taught at the London School of Economics and directed the Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies. He is author of numerous books on Soviet and Russian affairs, including Russia's Domestic Security Wars: Putin's Use of Divide and Rule Against His Hardline Allies (2018); Russia's Political Hospitals: The Abuse of Psychiatry in the Soviet Union, with Sidney Bloch (1977); and Uncensored Russia: The Human Rights Movement in the Soviet Union (1972).
