商品簡介
In this greatly expanded edition of his famous 1981 book, McCauley surveys the whole span of Soviet history: the hopeful idealism of its birth in the chaos of 1917; the trauma of the Stalin years and the Second World War; political hegemony over half the world through the decades of the Cold War; the first falterings; and the spectacular suddenness of the final collapse. A fitting conclusion to the Longman History of Russia series. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
