A Good Read

I am currently taking a class by Professor Cracraft and used this book. It was a good read because it was an easy read. It was not confusing in any way and professor Cracraft's introductions to the essays were knowledgable. The material convered Russian history from Peter the Great to the fall of Nicholas II. The reader is a good tool in learning about the times and the monarchs themselves as well as their policies. Well worth the money!
