The Grand Failure: The Birth And Death Of Communism In The Twentieth Century (1989) By Zbigniew Brzezinski
 
Zbigniew Brzezinski (Mar 28, 1928 - May 26, 2017) was a Polish-American diplomat and political scientist. He served as a counselor to President Lyndon B. Johnson from 1966 to 1968 and was President Jimmy Carter's National Security Advisor from 1977 to 1981. Brzezinski belonged to the realist school of international relations. "Communism at its present stage of development is Soviet imperialism at the period of its decline and destruction. The inevitable process of decomposition has engulfed communism from top to bottom, including its economic and state structure, and its policy and ideology.
 
The advent of communism, Brzezinski argues, was one of the most critical phenomenons in the history of the century.
 
Dramatic changes are taking place today in the Soviet Union. From this exploration of "glasnost", Brzezinski shapes his argument--namely, that communism, as it exists now in Russia, cannot survive.
