Reviews / Votes
'These essays, drawn from writings over the whole of his career, reaffirm Harry Rigby as one of the most thorough, thoughtful, stimulating and innovative analysts of Soviet politics. Old hands will benefit from re-reading these milestone contributions, and the new generation of Sovietologists would do well to start their studies here.' -- Ronald J. Hill, Trinity College, Ireland 'A most useful compendium of an important body of work. Highly recommended for upper-division undergraduates and above.' -- J. Bielasiak, Indiana, Bloomingdale, US 'Professor T.H. Rigby has for some time now been the doyen of Soviet political studies, combining the insight of a Russianist with the rigour of a social scientist strongly influenced by Weber.' -- Stephen White, University of Glasgow, UKMore details
