a| 'This book is banned in Soviet Russia today. Although it is the disillusioned report of a journey through the Russia of the Czars in 1839, the conditions described are so closely parallel to those of the present that more than a century after its publication an American general and ambassador wrote: "I could have taken many pages verbatim from Custine's journal and ... sent them to the State Department as my own officials reports ... The parallels between Custine's Russian and that of the present day are dramatic - the merciless despotism, fear of the secret police, political prisons, the purges, "confessions," censorship and slavery, the rewriting of history and the dream of world conquest"--from the cover
