This book sets out to relate Russiantradition and circumstances to the events of history, and to encourage readers to seek their own explanation of the country's paradox.For this fourth edition of Endurance and Endeavour J. N. Westwood has completely revised the text and bibliography, and added a new chapter covering the latest important and exciting developments in the history of the former Soviet Union.Westwood, J.
