"The Time of Stalin is a remarkably powerful evocation of the age of Gulag, one of the most vivid evocations of the experience of totalitarianism I have ever read."
-Irving Howe
"Anton Antonov-Ovseyenko's book is as moving as it is informative and is a priceless contribution to our knowledge of Stalin and the Stalin period. As the son of a leading Bolshevik victim and - after his own rehabilitation - the author has had access to higher party circles than any previous informant. This is history in the raw."
-Robert Conquest
"Antonov-Ovseyenko brings alive a tyrant on a mammoth scale - a tyrant who willingly, happily took so many lives himself. His passion suits his subject a valuable portrait."
-Robert G. Kaiser
"This is not just another book about Stalin. It is based on unpublished sources the memoirs of those who were close to or involved in the events described. Such sources are only available to one like the author, who is a member of the freemasonry of Stalin's victims. This book contains new and valuable information for historians."
-Leonard Schapiro
"...a major event. Here for the first time are presented extensive excerpts from the official party inquiry undertaken in 1954 at the insistence, primarily, of Nikita S. Khrushchev into the crimes of Stalin and others, materials that, after the partial revelations in Khrushchev's 1956 'secret speech' at the 20th Party Congress, were again locked away in party archives, where they still molder as, 28 years after Stalin's death, the hypocritical process of his "rehabilitation" moves forward in Moscow."
-Harrison E. Salisbury
"...the most important book to have come out of the Soviet experience since Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago...."
-The New Republic
