Rezensionen

"By utilizing Christian Theology, Boer is able to synthesize a new understanding of the thoughts and writings of Stalin that is both comprehensive and rigorous. It is here that I would like to claim, 'If you want to understand Stalin and the U.S.S.R. in which he presided over, then there is no better book.'" (Dalton Winfree, Marx and Philosophy, marxandphilosophy.org.uk, September, 2018)
