May 3, 2006, Greencastle, Ind. — "Edition after edition, Michael Kort's The Soviet Colossus has been a favorite of my students," notes Ralph Raymond, professor of political science at DePauw University, whose testimonial is being used to promote the sixth edition of The Soviet Colossus: History and Aftermath. The professor declares, "The book has depth and breadth, yet its analytical and narrative clarity and stylistic quality make it more inviting than intimidating. An excellent choice for courses in Soviet or Russian history, politics, and society."
