Book Review: The New Class by Milovan Đilas

6. Criticisms and Limitations

• The Soviet Union banned it because it revealed the truth about Stalin’s bureaucracy.
• The United States CIA loved it (and helped finance its distribution), much to Djilas’s later chagrin, as he was a communist at heart, not a Cold Warrior.
• Yugoslavia banned it because it threatened the legitimacy of the League of Communists.
