thanks.

i've heard about "black book on communism".

anyone read it?

from the article, It was very hard to read, small type but I found the book of some interest, the reviewer on the other hand kept making excuses for the depths of communist
depravity and not wanting to compare it to Naziism.

From the article


Evil is not morally complex, but the nature of the society that sustained the gulag was. The difficulty of embracing absurdity alongside tragedy may be yet another reason why we lag so far behind in our understanding of this terrible aspect of the 20th century and why, happily, no Hollywood director has yet attempted the impossible.

Long overdue in my opinion.

One wonders,"...why, happily....."???
