With the skill of a born storyteller, Michael A. Ledeen weaves together key moments in the fall of communism. His insider's knowledge of the interplay of complex personalities and Byzantine strategies makes a compelling narrative, one enlivened by his wry wit and flair for the dramatic.

In this call to embrace the worldwide democratic revolution, the author argues that global democracy should be the centerpiece of U.S. strategy.

Michael A. Ledeen is a resident scholar in the Freedom Chair at AEI.
