El Libro Negro Del Comunismo
Resumen del Libro

Courtois, director of research at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), leads the efforts of major scholars associated with the CNRS, who drew on recently opened Soviet archives to track the atrocities of communism worldwide over the last century. Concluding that communisms death toll stands at 85 to 100 million, they wonder forcefully why such class genocide is excused more easily than the Nazis race genocide. This book burned a hole in the French Left when it was published–and also hit the best sellers lists. Not easy reading, but a seminal document.
