About the Book:This book offers a detailed examination of the various anti-communist movements and uprisings that took place across Europe and Asia during the mid-20th century. The book begins with an analysis of The Vlassov Movement, which spanned from June 1941 to August 1945. This movement, led by Soviet General Andrey Vlasov, saw Soviet soldiers and citizens defect to the Nazi side during World War II, driven by a strong anti-communist sentiment. Stewart-Smith delves into the complexities of this controversial movement, shedding light on the motivations behind it and its impact on the broader struggle against communism. The book then shifts focus to the period following World War II, exploring resistance efforts in Eastern Europe and China between September 1945 and September 1952. During this time, Stewart-Smith highlights the courageous efforts of individuals and groups who opposed the spread of communism despite overwhelming odds. He provides a detailed account of how these resistance movements emerged in the face of Soviet expansionism in Eastern Europe and the Chinese Communist Party's rise to power in China. The author’s thorough research presents a compelling narrative of the global struggle against communism during this critical period. In its final chapters, *The Defeat of Communism* covers significant uprisings and revolts, such as the East German Uprising and the Vorkuta Revolt from October 1952 to January 1956, and the Tibetan Revolution from January 1957 to December 1961. Stewart-Smith's work offers a comprehensive look at these pivotal events, which were driven by the desire for freedom and resistance to communist rule. Through his analysis, the book underscores the determination of those who fought against the spread of communism, often at great personal risk. *The Defeat of Communism* serves as a valuable historical record, providing insights into the widespread opposition to communism during a turbulent era.
