The shadow of war
\"For Russians the Second World War was one of both national liberation and imperial expansion; it was also the dominant memory in the lives of three generations of Soviet citizens. Lovell's decision to take it as his starting point enables him to shine an innovative and penetrating light on many aspects of Soviet and Post-Soviet Russia often ignored in general studies. This is a very valuable book for those seeking to understand today's Russia.\" -Geoffrey Hosking, Emeritus Professor, University College London \"An extremely sure-footed and gracefully written interpretation of the last sixty years of Soviet/Russian history. Lovell exhibits much razor-sharp wit and insight, although almost never at the expense of his subjects. He views Soviet leaders and ordinary citizens from the standpoint of a western observer, but also steps back to observe himself observing his subjects, a perspective all too rare in textbooks.\" -Lewis Siegelbaum, Michigan State University.
