Description
Moss has significantly revised his text and bibliography in this second edition to reflect new research findings and controversies on numerous subjects. He has also brought the history up to date by revising the post-Soviet material, which now covers events from the end of 1991 up to the present day. This new edition retains the features of the successful first edition that have made it a popular choice in universities and colleges throughout the US, Canada and around the world.
Reviews
'An expertly presented and thoroughly informative narration recommended for a scholar's Russian History reference shelf, as well as accessibly informative reading for the non-specialist general reader with an interest in the historical development of Russia.' "Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)"
'Manages to embrace a wide range of topics while at the same time remaining accessible and interesting...balances humorous anecdotes with provocative concepts, and discusses historiography in a clearer and more contemporary fashion than that found in Riasanovsky's A History of Russia, now in its sixth edition and looking a bit musty by comparison...There is little to fault with this volume.' "Andrew Gentes, Lecturer in Russian and European History, University of Queensland in Australian Slavonic and East European Studies, Vol. 18 (2004)" ")"
