The Black Book of Communism

The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression is a controversial book edited by doctor Stéphane Courtois which attempts to catalog various crimes (deaths, torture, deportations, etc.) that have resulted from the pursuit of communism. The book is organized into parts written by scholars of communism; for example, Part 1, entitled "A State against Its People: Violence, Repression, and Terror in the Soviet Union", is written by Nicolas Werth, a specialist in the history of the Soviet Union. The book was published originally in France under the title, Le Livre noir du communisme : Crimes, terreur, répression.
