Or you mean "Conversations With Stalin?" Really good recommendation.

I think Milovan Djilas' book The New Class lays out went wrong. It was actually going really "right" that contained the seeds for the "wrong." The main thing the communists actually did was pull off industrial transformation, but there was no theoretical limit on the amount of power the party leaders could assume for themselves. They identified with history and believed that granted them an exclusive right to change society, which was the biggest flaw in their system, since history eventually reached a point where they were no longer necessary, and actually standing in the way of further transformation.
