Description: This book looks at the role the Soviet Union under Mikhail Gorbachev's leadership played in providing assistance to Marxist revolutionaries.
Review Quotes: 'Since he came to power in the mid-1980s, Mikhail Gorbachev has indicated that he wants to reduce the resource drain on the USSR and its allies in defending ... weak Marxist-Leninist regimes. Nevertheless, Marxist revolution in the third world has been a persistent phenomenon of the twentieth century, and it could remain so into the twenty-first. It is important to understand the past relationship between the USSR and Marxist revolution in order to understand how this relationship might evolve in the future.' Mark N. Katz
