Against all odds, the dissident movement undermined the Soviet system and unexpectedly hastened its collapse. To the Success of Our Hopeless Cause is a definitive history of a remarkable group of people who helped change the twentieth century.

Here the werewolf is not simply a creature that prowls; it is a consciousness divided against itself. By day, the mind arranges its thoughts neatly—work, love, regret, the steady ticking of ordinary hours.
