A critical survey contrasts David Shub's Lenin with Raymond Crankshaw's Khrushchev biography, tracing Leninist origins, Bolshevik discipline, and Khrushchev's open, people centered approach. It weighs Stalin era myths, terror, and postwar reforms against Khrushchev's attempt to reconcile party power with popular support.
A critical survey of how democracy began in ancient Greece between 800 and 400 BC. The author argues Solon and Cleisthenes were revolutionary figures shaping Athenian democracy, with the Athenian people ultimately founding it rather than Pericles or demagogues. The study challenges traditional views and offers carefully supported conclusions.
A critique of Wesker's Their Very Own and Golden City notes its ambitious epic scope and dual time shifts. Andrew Cobham's rise from working class youth to celebrated architect is traced against a harsh reality that tempers his vision. The review praises Julia Wesker's attempt but finds the mature arc uneven yet generous in spirit.
A brisk critique of Connery’s Scandinavia travel book, praising its engaging Time magazine style yet faulting its superficial judgments. The author notes broad portraits of Finland Sweden Norway and Denmark with quirks and generalisations. Overall the work is clear prose but lacks critical depth and substantiation.
The Journal of Pacific History Volume 1 1966 from Oxford University Press debuts under editors J W Davidson and H E Maude. A substantial annual volume with ten major articles, reviews, and bibliographies. It features wide contributions from ANU, Harvard, Paris, and Pacific sources, including native Pacific governance and transnational contact, with a notable palaeographical puzzle and blank-page fill‑ups.
Witness accounts span Laos Cambodia and Vietnam from 1984 onward with notes on Thailand. A London book listing reviews major spy fiction and critical works on empire and British decline. It catalogs works by Ah and mentions W P Kirkman and Brian Inglis with price hints.
