Beginning in 1948, the Soviet Union launched a series of wildly ambitious projects to implement Joseph Stalins vision of a total transformation of nature. Intended to increase agricultural yields dramatically, this utopian impulse quickly spread to the newly communist states of Eastern Europe, captivating political elites and war-fatigued publics alike. By the time of Stalins death, however, these attempts at transformationwhich relied upon ideologically corrupted and pseudoscientific theorieshad proven a spectacular failure. This richly detailed volume follows the history of such projects in three communist statesPoland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakiaand explores their varied, but largely disastrous, consequences.
