Customer Reviews

usefull for facts and figures but not user friendly
I studied AS history and found this book very usefull for evaluating the econmoic progress of the soviet union from 1928 to 41. this book provides essential facts and figures on the five year plans and the collectivisation campaigns. however this book is not uses friendly and is far to long winded for an AS text book, The format is very basic and tedious, I say this as there are no sourcses tables or pictures.This compared to over text books witch are more conscice and user freindly,which WAS A GREAT HELP WHEN IT CAME TO REVISION!!!
