Sinopse

"Great Purge" explores the state-sponsored terror inflicted upon the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, investigating the motivations, execution, and long-term consequences of these political purges. The book analyzes how Stalin consolidated absolute power by eliminating potential rivals and reshaping Soviet society, creating a climate of fear that stifled innovation.

 
One chilling aspect was the public "Moscow Trials," designed to showcase enemies of the state, while the NKVD, the Soviet secret police, played a key role in carrying out the brutal repression. This comprehensive examination of a dark chapter in 20th-century history argues that the purges were a systematic effort to transform the Soviet Union according to Stalin's ideological vision.

 
It begins by establishing the historical context of the 1930s, then delves into the purges' key events, including the targeting of Old Bolsheviks, military officers and ordinary citizens. Drawing upon archival documents and survivor testimonies, the book provides a nuanced account of the era, quantifying the scale of repression with statistical data and analyzing propaganda to understand the justifications for the purges.

Rockin’ in the Ivory Tower -...

James M. Carter

Histories of American rock music and the 1960s counterculture typically focus on the same few places: Woodstock, Monterey, Altamont. Yet there was also a very active college circuit that brought edgy acts like the Jefferson Airplane and the Velvet Underground to different metropolitan regions and smaller towns all over the country. These campus concerts were often programmed, promoted, and reviewed by students themselves, and their diverse tastes challenged narrow definitions of rock music. 
 
  
 
Rockin' in the Ivory Tower takes a close look at two smaller universities, Drew in New Jersey and Stony Brook on Long Island, to see how the culture of rock music played an integral role in student life in the late 1960s. Analyzing campus archives and college newspapers, historian James Carter traces connections between rock fandom and the civil rights protests, free speech activism, radical ideas, lifestyle transformations, and anti-war movements that revolutionized universities in the 1960s. Furthermore, he finds that these progressive students refused to segregate genres like folk, R&B, hard rock, and pop. Rockin' in the Ivory Tower gives listeners a front-row seat to a dynamic time for the music industry, countercultural politics, and youth culture.
