Subverting the System Gorbachev's Reform of the Party's Apparat 1986-1991

Subverting the System deals with an issue of fundamental importance, namely the internal evolution of the regime in the final years of Soviet power. In particular the book examines the contradictory approaches taken by Gorbachev in relation to the role and organization of the Communist Party, contradictions that effectively paralyzed the party as a functioning political organization and that ultimately provoked a dynamic that led to the fall of the system in its entirety.Harris, Jonathan is the author of 'Subverting the System Gorbachev's Reform of the Party's Apparat 1986-1991', published 2005 under ISBN 9780742526792 and ISBN 0742526798.
