Description
The Shortest History of the Soviet Union by Sheila Fitzpatrick Sheila Fitzpatrick's latest book offers a lively and authoritative account of the Soviet Union's complex history, from its rise to its unexpected fall. Spanning over seven decades, this book chronicles the Soviet Age, weaving together drama, chaos, and hope, as well as the country's geopolitical conflicts and its lasting impact on Russia today. Fitzpatrick sheds light on the many ironies of the Soviet experience, where an ideology promising to shape history was instead shaped by contingency. She explores the contradictions of a state that claimed to be internationalist and anti-imperialist, yet gave rise to a multitude of nationalisms. This book is a masterful distillation of the Soviet experience, told with vivid detail and a wry wit that brings the era to life.
