Stalin in Power: The Revolution from Above, 1928-19416 reviews
Robert C. Tucker

W. W. Norton & Company, 1992

The finest treatment of its subject
Neither Stalin, the collectivization crisis, nor the terror suffer from a dearth of good and serious studies. Yet despite the crowded field, Tucker's "Stalin in Power" is by far the best treatment of all three complex events. No other book sets out as credible, well-researched and well considered a theory of the workings of Stalin's mind. The great challenge presented by the Soviet thirties is ...
  
  











  



  
An Age for Lucifer: Predatory Spirituality and the Quest for Godhood3 reviews
Robert C. Tucker

Holmes Publishing Group, 1999

Interesting read if a bit frustrating
I found Tucker's book to be of great interest as an essay on the psychology of an aspect of Western humanity and I am writing this review partly as a corrective to the previous two because they are so misleading. The first reviewer is under the singular impression that Tucker is giving an account of the practices of some easily identifiable group. He is not. He is presenting a profile of a ...

This text provides an analytical look at politics, leadership and the effect that each has on the other.

Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels

W. W. Norton, 1978

Very in depth reader about the works of Marx and Engels. Gives some historic information on the life Karl Marx and the order in which he wrote most of his works. If all you have read by Marx is the Communist Manifesto then do yourself a favor and pick this book up.
  
  











  



  
The Lenin Anthology1 review

W. W. Norton & Company, 1975

Nice compilation of Lenin's body of work
Tucker's edited volume, "The Lenin Anthology," is a good compilation of Lenin's body of work. If one wishes a quick introduction to Lenin in one volume, this is a good work to look at. First, Lenin's real name was Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov. The death of his older brother at the hands of the government was a key point in his life (note the brief chronology on pages xv-xxiii, from his birth in ...

Empire of Liberty: The Statecraft of Thomas Jefferson1 review
Robert W. Tucker, David C. Hendrickson

Oxford University Press, USA, 1992

Empire of Liberty
By examining United States foreign policy between 1783 and 1809 in their book "Empire of Liberty," Robert W. Tucker and David C. Hendrickson put the myth of Thomas Jefferson under fire. Tucker and Hendrickson's central thesis is that Jefferson's statecraft wavered between two contradictory principles of liberty and empire. While president, Jefferson often found himself torn between pursuing a ...
  
  











  



  
Encyclopedia of the Korean War: A Political, Social, and Military History2 reviews

Checkmark Books, 2002

For school and community library military history collection

Tucker and presents the reader with a thorough, comprehensive, in-depth, and deeply researched compendium of knowledge over the Korean conflict often referred to as "The Forgotten War." Entries are listed in A to Z format; black-and-white photographs sparsely illustrate the detailed, matter-of ...
  
  











  



  
Stalin as Revolutionary 1879-1929: A Study in History and Personality1 review
Robert C. Tucker

ACLS Humanities E-Book, 2008

An Engrossing Picture of Stalin and the Russian Revolution
It's a shame that this book is out of print. It's an excellent book by an excellent author. This book contains all of the things you would expect from a biography of Stalin, including all of the stories of his childhood, etc. What makes this book interesting and controversial, however, is that Tucker dares to explore what effect his childhood might have had on his future personality (always ...
  
  











  



  
The Soviet Political Mind: Stalinism and Post-Stalin Change1 review
Robert C. Tucker

W. W. Norton & Company, 1972

Sovietology and the importance of subjectivity
Professor Robert C. Tucker's thin book, "The Soviet Political Mind" is an important commentative piece about the role of Soviet leaders, especially Stalin, in the nature of the development of the USSR's political landscape. This book is not meant to be a history text, which is not to say that the test is not factual. Tucker's claims about the leadership's role (as opposed to ideological or ...

W. W. Norton & Company, Inc., 1969
  
  











  



  
Philosophy and Myth in Karl Marx2 reviews
Robert C. Tucker

Cambridge University Press, 1972

Philosophy and Myth In Marx Critics
One of the strange secrets of Marx is that you can often learn more about him from his critics than from his defenders. Then ironically Marx's critiques, if not his theories which get in the way, often spring to life again. This Transaction reprint is like walking past an old canon on a battlefield and induces one to reopen old battles in one's mind to the point of rubbing salt in old wounds. One ...

Center for the Study of World Religions, 1998

Confucianism demonstrates a remarkable wealth of resources for rethinking human-earth relations. This second volume in the series on religions of the world and the environment includes sixteen essays that address the ecological crisis and the question of Confucianism from three perspectives: the historical describes this East Asian tradition's views of nature, social ethics, and cosmology, which may shed light on contemporary problems; a ...
