2.		Ekaterinburg: The Last Days of the Romanovs from Hutchinson Price: £13.29 Customer Review: This is a masterly work of history. Although, of course, we all know how the Romanov story ends, Rappaport takes us inside The House of Special Purpose where the Tsar and his family were imprisoned, and locks us into that oppressive, claustrophobic atmosphere. Nicholas, Alexandra and the duchesses... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Stalin: A Biography from Pan Books Price: £6.99 Customer Review: This is a very useful survey of Stalin's life and political career. It uses some of the new archival sources in Moscow, though not all of them by a long way, and it is easily accessible. But the prose is rather dull, and Stalin does not come to life, as he does, for example, in Sebag Montefiore's... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

Total War and Historical Change: Europe 1914-1955: Europe, 1914-1955 from Open University Press Price: £18.74 Customer Review: I read this book after hearing about it from the open university, and i wasn't dissapointed.

The Spanish Civil War: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) from OUP Oxford Price: £3.49 Customer Review: I didn't like this book as although no one would pretend that Franco wasn't a deeply unpleasant man let alone the German and Italian leaders who sent him assistance, the author doesn't seem to explain properly the following facts: 1 The republic government only had a small majority of seats and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		The Spanish Civil War: Reaction, Revolution and Revenge from HarperPerennial Price: £6.99 Customer Review: While this may not be the most complete book about the Spanish Civil War, it is a pleasantly well written and concise account of the conflict.

7.		The Whisperers: Private Life in Stalin's Russia from Allen Lane Price: £18.99 Customer Review: In this book, Figes has diluted and refined his mastery of the art of weaving historical sources together. These family narratives which, without this book, would certainly have been lost, provide a compelling insight into the reality of Soviet Russia - the 'historical' backdrop of dates and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		The Forsaken: From the Great Depression to the Gulags - Hope and Betrayal in Stalin's Russia from Little, Brown Price: £13.99 Customer Review: The Foresaken is a fascinating, finely researched and important book. Tzouliadis recounts the largely forgotten story of the emigration of desperate Americans to the USSR in the 1930s at a time when capitalism and liberal democracy seemed to be failing. The book interweaves the personal story of... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
