Jonathan W. Daly is Associate Professor of History at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He is author of Autocracy under Siege.
Based on impressive archival research, an informed reading of
memoirs and published documents and an intelligent use of the many
recent publications, particularly from Russia, on the subject.
*AMERICAN HISTORICAL REVIEW*
A splendid work by a mature scholar in command of his field, The
Watchful State is a significant contribution to the study of the
Russian secret police and to the broader field of Russian
institutional history.
*Richard Robbins, University of New Mexico*
Well written... painstakingly accurate about administrative details
[and] full of the drama of its time. A pleasure to read.
