It not only provides primary sources that make clear the oppression of the Stalin era, but also explains the historiography of this period, and provides an assessment of Stalin's legacy, which resonates to this very day.' Patricia Kollander, Florida Atlantic University, USA Stalin and Stalinism has long been a work critical to the introduction of the Stalinist history of the Soviet Union. Part of the Seminar Series published by Routledge Press, it is now in its fourth edition. In this new edition (revised third edition published in 2013), McCauley continues to show his broad-based knowledge of the history of Stalin and Stalinism. In addition to some physical rearrangement, he has added three new chapters of analysis, focusing on the years before Stalin came to power. He has also added a new chapter on the legacy of Stalinism, which includes a discussion of the differences between Stalin and Putin. One of the most helpful sections of this title in all editions has been the inclusion of the translation of several critical documents. The fourth edition has them all and includes Khrushchev's secret speech to the XXth Party Congress in 1956. McCauley has also expanded and updated the additional readings, creating another great edition of a foundational volume in the study of Stalin and Stalinism. J. C.
