The Great Terror

The Great Terror: Stalin's Purge of the Thirties is a book by British historian Robert Conquest which was published in 1968.

Conquest's title was also an evocative allusion to the period that was called the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution .A revised version of the book, called The Great Terror: A Reassessment, was printed in 1990 after Conquest was able to amend the text, having consulted recently opened Soviet archives.
