Recensioner i media
'The volume as a whole provides a much welcome revisionist approach to our understanding of revolutionary movements and events in Russia, as well as their broader international context, mainly focusing on the period from 1905 through to the Civil War, but also extending into the Stalin period.' - Melanie Ilic, Europe-Asia Studies 'Ian Thatcher has assembled an impressive collection of highly readable essays in honour of James White.' - Harold Shukman, SEER, The Slavonic and East European Review
