5.0 out of 5 stars Unmatched insight into the workings of the world's most pernicious ideology, September 24, 2005

This review is from: The Theory and Practice of Communism: An Introduction (Pelican) (Mass Market Paperback)
Everything about this book is fascinating, and Hunt's erudition with regard to the subject is unmatched. His dispassionate exposure of the premeditated and unimaginably sinister methods used by Communists to steal and retain power is a service to the free world...especially given that so many modern, radical organizations (particularly those on the left) utilize the very same tactics to cynically manipulate opinion and exert influence. It is a better and more practical book on the subject, in very many respects, than is Wilson's "To the Finland Station".

5.0 out of 5 stars Understanding this approach to utopia, February 8, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
One rainy Sunday afternoon while holed up in a sleezy hotel (best in town) on the Azuero Peninsula in the Republc of Panama, and with nothing better to do, I read this little book. The truth, or at least as close to it as can be had, why Communisum as a system of government couldn't, and didn't work, is explained so clearly that even an uneducated fool like I was at the time, found the read to be quite illuminating.

Many years have gone by, my knowledge has expanded a thousand fold and still, what Carew wrote then, has become manifest for many, if not all of the very reasons he predicted they would.
