The Soviet Deportation of Nationalities

Conquest, R. The Soviet Deportation of Nationalities. London: Macmillan, 1960. First edition. Octavo. XIII, [1], 203, [1]pp. Original decorative wrappers over red cloth with gold lettering on spine. This book deals with one of the most important and neglected episodes in modern history: the fate of seven minority nations of the U.S.S.R. whose populations were almost entirely deported. Only five of these nations were rehabilitated in 1957. The treatment of these people by successive governments of the Soviet Union is a test case of the whole nature of Communist policy – and much more. Dramatic and factual, this book is of major importance to readers who want a comprehensive picture of the modus operandi and objectives of the Soviet Union. Wrappers, binding and interior in overall very good condition. vg. Hardcover. (31050) $45
