Robert Gellately published Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler: The Age of Social Catastrophe with Knopf. "Sensible and sophisticated, scholarly and very readable. It's time to rip up the accepted versions of this terrible period and analyze it on the evidence that we now have. Gellately has done just that." -- Simon Sebag Montefiore, The Washington Post. "Mr. Gellately sets a high standard for anyone writing about comparative dictatorship...Lucid prose and vivid examples make the book admirable accessible to non-specialists. But it also engages expertly in one of the most closely fought historiographical battles of past decades." -- The Economist
