Dissent on the Margins

How Soviet Jehovah's Witnesses Defied Communism and Lived to Preach about It

Beschreibung

Emily B. Baran offers a gripping history of how a small, American-based religious community, the Jehovah's Witnesses, found its way into the Soviet Union after World War II, survived decades of brutal persecution, and emerged as one of the region's fastest growing religions after the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991.
