ReviewsHosking's delineation of the trends, the sense of history's sweep, the accumulation of a wealth of material, the interweaving of the cultural with the religious with the social with the demotic, are generally done with a skill born of experience...So close has been his study of Russia ancient and modern that he is able to be as categorical on the 18th as on the 20th century...This is writing with a steady hand, guided by opinion formed through large experience.
