At its heart, the book is a history of the Soviet Union, the most comprehensive reorganization of human society ever attempted by a nation-state. This is the story of how the agitation of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, two mid-nineteenth-century European thinkers and writers, led to a great and terrible world religion that brought down a mighty empire, consumed the world in conflict, and left in its wake a devastation whose full costs can only now be tabulated.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52340919402784,"sku":"USED0812968646","price":21.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71guH6nY6_L.jpg?v=1789147256","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/communism-a-history-modern-library-chronicles-0812968646-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
