Cohen cuts through Cold War stereotypes of the Soviet Union to arrive at fresh interpretations of that countrys traumatic history and its present-day political realities. Cohens lucidly written, revisionist analysis reopens an array of major historical questions. As he probes Soviet history, society, and politics, Cohen demonstrates how this country has remained stable during its long journey from revolution to conservatism. It the process, he suggests more enlightened approaches to American/Soviet relations.
