The Soviet Union: A Documentary History Volume 1 : 1917-1940 Hardback
by Edward (School of History, University of East Anglia (United Kingdom)) Acton, Tom Stableford
Part of the Exeter Studies in History series
Hardback
Description
This is the first volume of a new integrated documentary history of the Soviet Union.
The Soviet story-the revolution, Lenin, Stalinism, the Great Patriotic War, the era of Khrushchev, Brezhnev and Cold War, and the dramatic collapse under Gorbachev-looms large in history syllabuses across the world.
This book will be a valuable resource for students at all levels, drawing upon the primary material that has come to light since the collapse of Communist rule in 1991.
Combining lucid narrative commentary and a rich selection of evocative documents, it provides a lively entree to current debate over humanity's most momentous and tragic experiment.
This volume is organised chronologically, subdivided thematically and incorporates over 200 documents.
Key terms and references to individuals, places, events and institutions are explained and guidance provided on significant features of the primary sources.
Conceived as companion to the highly-regarded, best-selling 4- volume Nazism 1919-1945: A Documentary Reader by Noakes & Pridham, also published by UEP, it assumes no prior knowledge of the subject.
