Easy-to-read informative summary

Abraham Ascher has succeeded in bringing alive the history of Russia from its very beginnings up to the present time.

Brief and Comprehensive

An excellent general overview, Ascher has succeeded in condensing a tremendous amount of information into a concise and highly readable book. This is an accomplishment not to be underestimated! Many could write the same book in 2,000 pages, but to get it all into 250 is a noteworthy. I've studied Russian history in some depth, but I was looking for something that gets straight to the point to use teaching a high school class. I was really impressed with this book, and would recommend it to anyone who wants a comprehensive yet brief overeview of the subject.
