| Review | "This is a collection of essays on topics pertaining to the American Revolution - the single most important event in American history. Many Russian scholars have studied the American Revolution because they believe it is what has linked together the destinies of the American people and the people of the former Soviet Union through much of the twentieth century."--BOOK JACKET. "Each Russian essay is followed by a commentary from a noted American historian of the American Revolution. Most of the Russian authors, in turn, respond to the American critiques, a few of them quite strongly. These rebuttals are included with the essays and responses, resulting in a fascinating critical dialogue between the West and the East."--BOOK JACKET. |
