Reviews for Enemies of the State
The Critchlows have rendered a signal service by providing attention, access, and background to this historically important literature.
John Earl Haynes, author of Early Cold War Spies These accounts by largely forgotten figures [offer] a strength in the face of the inversion of truth and rationality that is incomprehensible.
Tim Marchman
New York Sun
This book provides shocking insight into the workings of communism and, therefore, into the Cold War itself.
Conservativenet
These stories should not only be read for the lessons they can teach us about socialism. They should be read because they are great literature, human drama, and an inspiration to everyone who will ever face adversity.
Conservative Monitor
The stories told and retold here...make for painful but necessary reading.... What they have to say we must never forget.
First Things
The narratives collected...exemplify...the abuses of human rights in Communist states and act...as landmarks in...history...
The Russian Review
Powerful and revealing information about the human costs of the attempted applications of Marxism-Leninism…
Paul Hollander
