Communism has had a profound impact on Europe. In theory, it promised equality and freedom for all. In practice, it spawned inegalitarian, authoritarian and, in some instances, monstrous regimes in East Europe. Ronald Kowalski re-examines the history of European Communism and explains why it failed to come to power in West Europe.
