Russia and the Soviet Union, 7th Edition by John M Thompson
This balanced and succinct account of Russian and Soviet history covers from the first Kievan states to the present day.
Praise from Previous Editions: "Comprehensive, balanced, up to date, engaging, and deftly written, Russia and the Soviet Union is the best brief history of Russia available todayThe book is perfectly suited for use in introductory courses on Russian history and for general readers seeking to make sense of Russia over the centuries. Thompson has packed a lifetime of thoughtful reflection, teaching, and distinguished research into this volume." --Donald J. Raleigh, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill "Through a fresh format and effective revisions, John Thompson has rendered still more succinct what was already a very neat, comprehensive and highly readable text. With updated biographies ('Further Reading') in several chapters and some new illustrations, as well as an additional chapter on Russia under the leadership of Vladimir Putin, Russia and the Soviet Union in its sixth edition remains a superlative text for both students of Russian history and the casual reader." --Vicki Hendrickson Grove, University of Colorado, Boulder
