Abstract
This review essay looks at Stephen Kotkin's acclaimed but controversial book, Uncivil Society. Although some aspects of Kotkin's analysis may be dubious, his approach overall is insightful and convincing. Kotkin gives due weight to mass mobilization, but he rightly focuses on the collapse of will within the Communist establishment.
