Description

First journalist expelled by Russia after the Cold War presents documentary on Soviet collapse In ‘Age of Delirium’, former Moscow based Financial Times correspondent David Satter tells stories about his experiences as an American investigative journalist in Soviet Russia. Through the lens of Mr. Satter’s experiences, ‘Age of Delirium’ relays individual stories of how the U.S.S.R. designed and constructed an entire superpower on the basis of a false idea, demonstrating how its citizens were forced to live out a fictitious reality, and endured the brutal totalitarian measures taken by the Soviet regime to try and reimagine a Marxist-Leninist reality. “I had almost given up hope that any American could depict the true face of Russia and Soviet rule. In David Satter’s Age of Delirium, the world has received a chronicle of the calvary of the Russian people under communism that will last for generations.”—Vladimir Voinovich, author of The Life and Extraordinary Adventures of Private Ivan Chonkin “Spellbinding. . . . Gives one a visceral feel for what it was like to be trapped by the communist system.”—Jack Matlock, Washington Post “Satter deserves our gratitude. . . . He is an astute observer of people, with an eye for essential detail and for human behavior in a universe wholly different from his own experience in America.”—Walter Laqueur, Wall Street Journal “Every page of this splendid and eloquent and impassioned book reflects an extraordinarily acute understanding of the Soviet system.”—Jacob Heilbrunn, Washington Times David Satter, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, was Moscow correspondent for the Financial Times of London from 1976 to 1982.
