Robert Conquest is a great man. Thank you for this reminder.
In the face of the "inevitable" communist attacks from within and without, Robert Conquest stands as a mountain that never failed to take each step boldly and with confidence in face of the evil Soviet empire that looked to march on and their evil supporters in the West who never failed in their attempt to discredit him at every turn.
Even Stephen Cohen his Sovietologist counterpart, along with his commie wife who does left wing propaganda for The Nation were met with kindness by the great man.
And he is as humble in victory as anyone could hope to be.
God Bless Robert Conquest and all his works.
Robert Conquest turns 98 today.
