The Ivy Bookshop is thrilled to welcome 2025 Pulitzer Prize winner Benjamin Nathans to celebrate his prizewinning book: To the Success of Our Hopeless Cause: The Many Lives of the Soviet Dissident Movement! Raised in Mt. Washington, Nathans is a truly hyper-local hometown hero. His research and storytelling connect us to a moment in time that feels both far away and highly contemporary: the book presents a 鈥渞iveting history鈥� (Wall Street Journal) of the Soviet dissident movement, which hastened the end of the USSR and still provides a model of opposition in Putin鈥檚 Russia鈥揳nd beyond.
