About this book

Political Will and Personal Belief: The Decline and Fall of Soviet Communism by Hollander, Paul. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780300076202.

In this unique analysis of the unexpected collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, sociologist Paul Hollander focuses on the human aspects of the country`s demise. Drawing on autobiographical writings and interviews with members of the political elite, the author shows how leaders who experienced a loss of faith in their ideals and an eroding sense of legitimacy fatally undermined the political system they had once upheld.
