No tricks, Mr. President. In a few moments I will release a wave of psychic energy designed to dominate the whole planet. There will be no more 'free will'.
This might be a bit too esoteric a request for this thread but I'm looking for a good, substantial although sub-monstrous history of the Soviet Union, or a few. Thanks kindly.

I have a pretty good grasp of the outlines of the history and the ideologies that seemingly compel people to abandon reality. Still, I guess I'm looking for something that is approaches the Soviet history with a "grey" lens; it may enthusasically examine the soviet question while not amounting to a subtle treatise on the merits/depravities of communism. Just as all the best histories and biographies about the US show a mixed picture.

The academic route is probably the best bet, I just wish the books weren't so drat expensive. I'll check out that recommendation, although I might wait until I get back to school to look for it at the library. Thanks for the tip.
