Different countries are governed in different ways. Communism is a way of governing a country and its people. The basis of this type of government is the idea that one person is not more important than any other and all citizens work for the benefit of everyone, not just for themselves This book offers a detailed and non-judgemental look at specific countries that are governed in this way. It looks at how communism becomes established, problems and successes that it may encounter and what the future may hold for communism.
Part of the Systems of Government series, this balanced book places Communism within a wider world context and looks at the effect this type of government has on its citizens, wealth and industry. Perfect for readers aged 12 and up.

Sean Connolly is the author of more than 75 books for children and young adults, on global issues, citizenship, history and cultural affairs.
*Starred Review* The Systems of Government series provides an importance service: it explains the major types of governments in ways that are substantial yet don’t overwhelm. It’s no easy feat to explain the subject covered in Communism—while the ideal of the system is a lack of organized government, repressive governments have been its hallmark. Connolly deftly uses the history of communism and how it has evolved to make his points. The series is impressively up-to-date—see the discussions on France’s ban on burkas and the Arab Spring (though Kim Jong Il is depicted as still alive). Most important, the series is deeply thoughtful and well designed, with plenty of excellent pictures and sidebars, and it stretches itself at every turn to suggest to readers what the future holds for various systems of government. Grades 5-8. --Ilene Cooper
