Want your mind challenged?
Very comprehensive and broad view of 1917 + in Russia. Can be overwhelming with detail, but worth staying with it. Could lead you to study Russia further. It seems a fascinating country, not very well known to the West. For me the book was a good glimpse into a mysterious past. I am wiser.
