The story of the last of the Romanovs and the coming of the bolsheviki. One American Jesuit was there when Lenin and Stalin disemboweled Christian Russia. Now, his towering masterpiece is back, after 75 years. When Fr. Edmund Walsh, SJ, first crossed from Latvia into Soviet Russia on the night of March 21, 1922, the Russian people were suffering an appalling famine engineered by their Communist masters. As director of the papal relief effort, Fr. Walsh would spend the next several years traveling the Red empire, not only seeing the horrors of Communism firsthand, but also interviewing countless witnesses and investigating numberless sources about the events that had brought about Communism’s triumph. The result was an historical narrative of unparalleled vigor, immediacy and accuracy.
