Rethinking the Soviet Experience by Stephen F Cohen
In this wide-ranging and provocative book, Stephen F. Cohen cuts through Cold War stereotypes of the Soviet Union to arrive at fresh interpretations of that country's traumatic history and its present-day political realities. Cohen's lucidly written, revisionist analysis reopens an array of major historical questions. As he probes Soviet history, society, and politics, Cohen demonstrates how this country has remained stable during its long journey from revolution to conservatism. It the process, he suggests moreenlightened approaches to American/Soviet relations. Based on the author's many years of study and research, including numerous visits to the USSR, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in the state of world affairs today.Stephen F. Cohen is a well-known Soviet and post-Soviet Russia academic, media analyst, and author of a number of well-received books. He is an Emeritus Professor of Politics at Princeton and a professor of Russian Studies and History at New York University. 'Bukharin and the Bolshevik Revolution: A Political Biography; Rethinking the Soviet Experience; Sovieticus', 'Failed Crusade: America and the Tragedy of Post-Communist Russia', and 'Soviet Fates and Lost Options' are only a few of his books. Cohen is married to Katrina vanden Heuvel, who is the editor and publisher of The Nation, where he also contributes.
