If your looking for a general and linear narrative on the history of the Soviet Union, you will not find it in this book. In "The Soviet Century," Moshe Lewin has compiled a scholarly analytical deconstruction of the Soviet process, rise-and-fall, bureaucracy, dissolution and selected analysis of some major figures. This is the book you read after reading, studying or understanding the general aspects of collective Russian history, to read this first is interesting, but could be overwhelming and should be treated as a collection of brilliant historical abstracts to be read later. Lewin has drawn on Soviet sources previously unavailable to western audiences, or at least seldom surveyed in English. The chapters feature pinpoint focus on the minutiae of the Soviet experiment. Lewin's analysis of the necessity of the Soviet Republic hits the mark and explains the Imperial Russian historical burden that the Soviets would be forced to bear. Logical, intelligent, insightful and deeply scholastic. REVIEW EVERY BOOK YOU READ, READERS, PUBLISHERS AND AUTHORS DESERVE YOUR OPINIONS.Read full review
