Recenzje

Revolution Rekindled will complicate the picture of post-Stalinist publishing and intellectual life even for those who have studied the period closely. Jones's nuanced discussions of editorial and writerly motivations, and of responses to the series by critics and readers, present a fascinating portrait of the era.
