Detente: Prospects for Democracy and Dictatorship
Review
“Détente is one of those few books that I found difficult to put down. In spite of a very busy schedule, I finished it in a few hours. The beauty of Solzhenitsyn’s prose gave me the momentum. The replies of the experts provided the curiosity that gave me the impetus to continue. I am glad that I did. . . . [The] brilliance of Solzhenitsyn’s rhetoric is balanced by the technical accuracy of the various commentaries. . . . In the package that is represented by the book as a whole we are given the clearest view of détente that I have yet read. . . . What Détente shows so clearly is that there is need for both the heart and the head. It shows further that social science definitely has something to say, and something urgent.”
