Endurance and Endeavour Zusammenfassung

Endurance and Endeavour: Russian History 1812-2001 J. N. Westwood (Honorary Research Fellow, University of Birmingham)

In Russia, both rulers and ruled long endeavoured to transform their country, each in their own forcible way. Their efforts never quite seemed to bring the results hoped for, and despite reform and revolution some things changed very little. This book sets out to relate Russian tradition and circumstances to the events of history and to encourage readers to seek their own explanation of the country's paradox. For this fifth edition of Endurance and Endeavour J. N. Westwood has completely revised the text and bibliography to incorporate recent research and findings from formerly closed archives, and has added a new chapter covering the Yeltsin years.

Endurance and Endeavour Bewertungen

J. N. Westwood certainly has done well in serving nearly two hundred years of Russian history in a very readable form ... In the sense of thematic division the book is well balanced. Westwood's use of language is enjoyable and often brings his opinion to the fore, be it critical, ironic or appreciative. * European Review of History *
This is a work to suggest to someone who is new to Russian and Soviet history. Compared with many highly argumentative and analytically complex works, this book is enjoyable reading, digestible even for readers with little or no knowledge on the subject ... one of the best textbooks available on Russian history. * European Review of History *
