«The Dragons of Expectation» is the historical essay by Robert Conquest, published by W. W. Norton & Company in paperback (272 pages, in English).
Essay tracing how twentieth-century ideologies seduced intellectuals and rulers and led to catastrophes. Robert Conquest analyzes the weight of «isms» and abstractions such as «people», «nation» and «masses», and examines the October Revolution, the Second World War and the Cold War as historical examples of that drift.
The full subtitle of the work is «Reality and Delusion in the Course of History». It was originally published in English in 2006.
For readers of history, politics and critique of ideologies, both specialists and the general public.
