"Stalin's
Bureaucracy in Action: The Creation and Destruction of the Jewish
Anti-Fascist Committee" (a review essay on Shimon Redlich, War,
Holocaust and Stalinism: A Documented Study of the Jewish
Anti-Fascist Committee in the USSR)
This very
favorable review praises Redlich's painstaking persistence in
culling Russian archives to produce an enlightening volume on the
workings of Stalin's bureaucracy and of the Jewish Anti-Fascist
Committee in the USSR. Redlich's thoughtful analysis of the
activities and relations of the Committee's leadership with the
various constituencies and with the highest echelons of the
Communist Party is reinforced by 181 copiously annotated archival
documents. His insights into the Committee's major figures and into
the way the USSR was run under Stalin are exceedingly valuable, and
the picture they reveal is brutally clear. |
