Gr. 8-12. Like Gottfried's excellent Holocaust series, these books are compelling, in-depth histories that chronicle the how and why of cataclysmic events and the roles of both leaders and ordinary people. These two titles are the first in a proposed four-volume set about the Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union. Gottfried writes with clarity and distance even as he narrates the dramatic details of the political conflict and the emotion of the "dream that failed." Communism describes the end of czarist tyranny and focuses on the revolution. Stalinist Empire describes the nightmare of the 30-year dictatorship up to WW II. Highly readable, the large volumes are spaciously designed, with clear type on thick, quality paper; lots of subheads; occasional photographs; and dramatic, full-page art by Reim that evokes the marching crowds in triumph and despair. Each volume has a detailed double-page map of the period, a chronology, and a glossary, and the documentation includes careful chapter notes and a brief bibliography. Hazel Rochman
