Dmitri Antonovich Volkogonov (22 March 1928 – 6 December 1995) was a Soviet/Russian historian and colonel general who was head of the Soviet military's psychological warfare department. After research in secret Soviet archives, he published biographies of Joseph Stalin and Vladimir Lenin, among others. Despite being a committed Stalinist and Marxist–Leninist ideologue for most of his career, Volkogonov came to repudiate communism and the Soviet system before his death from cancer in 1995. Through his research in the restricted archives, Volkogonov discovered facts that contradicted the Soviet version of events, and the cult of personality that had been built up around Lenin and Stalin. Volkogonov published books that contributed to liberal Russian thought that emerged during Glasnost in the late 1980s and the post-Soviet era of the early 1990s. More

New York, N.Y. Simon & Schuster, 2005. Third Printing, Stated. Hardcover. [12], 258, [2] pages. Illustrations. Preface, Four Chapters, and Acknowledgments. Her book Assassination Vacation (2005) describes a road trip to tourist sites devoted to the murders of presidents Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield and William McKinley. In this book, Sarah Vowell exposes the glorious conundrums of American history and culture with wit, probity, and an irreverent sense of humor. She takes us on a trip like no other--a journey to the pit stops of American political murder, and through the myriad ways they have been used for fun and profit, for political and cultural advance. From Buffalo to Alaska, Washington to the Dry Tortugas, Vowell visits locations immortalized and influenced by the spilling of politically important blood, reporting as she goes with her trademark blend of wisecracking humor, remarkable honesty, and thought-provoking criticism. We learn about the jinx that was Robert Todd Lincoln (present at the assassinations of Presidents Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley) and witness the politicking that went into the making of the Lincoln Memorial. Though the themes of loss and violence are explored, and we see how the Republican Party became the Republican Party, there are lighter diversions along the way into the lives of the three presidents and their assassins, including mummies, show tunes, mean-spirited totem poles, and a nineteenth-century biblical sex cult. While most of the book is devoted to the assassinated presidents, Vowell intersperses anecdotes of her self-proclaimed "pilgrimage" of presidential assassinations, including a production of the musical Assassins.
