Fox hunt

Article Abstract:

A commentary on the book 'The Dragons of Expectation: Reality and Delusion in the Course of History' written by Robert Conquest is provided. The book makes it clear that Robert Conquest is one of the foxes by nature, but one who was forced, by the circumstances of his times and by his subject matter, to function as something of a hedgehog.
