A remarkably prescient thinker, Aleksandras Shtromas devoted his life to understanding totalitarianism and political change. This posthumous collection of writings, edited by Robert Faulkner and Daniel J. Mahoney, addresses some of the topics that preoccupied Shtromas throughout his life, including totalitarian regimes, postcommunist transitions, the fates of the Baltic states, and the nature of political revolutions.

This collection does justice to the intellectual legacy of one of the pre-emiinent thinkers of the twentieth century. (Political Studies Review)

Totalitarianism and the Prospects for World Order is...an impressive intellectual autobiography of a very interesting man. For those wishing to explore his work further, the book concludes with a complete bibliography. Alexander Shtromas's insight, scholarship, and defense of human rights and human dignity will be missed by the profession. (The Russian Review)
