A HISTORY OF RUSSIA From Peter the Great to Gorbachev

Eighteen CDs! Untold hours of information! Listening to Professor Steinberg's exhaustive three-part lecture series thrusts one back to the classroom. The beauty is that you can turn him on or off at any time, soak up the history in digestible chunks--AND--you don't have to pretend to be alert. Steinberg has a listener-friendly voice, an encyclopedic command of the material, and a clear, if dry, speaking style. Each of the three parts comes with its own study booklet, also dry. Y.R.
