Russia: War, Peace & Diplomacy: Essays in Honour of John Erickson edited by Mark and Ljubica Erickson

Russia War, Peace & Diplomacy: Essays in Honour of John Erickson edited by Mark and Ljubica Erickson. Essays include Scottish links with Czarist Russia,signals intelligence in the Russo-Japanese War, Soviet foreign policy after the revolution, women tractor drivers, forgotten operations in World War II, women in combat in the siege of Stalingrad, Clausewitz and Jomini and the SS-20 missile. There are 19 in total. Some of the contributors are Norman Stone, Robert Service,Antony Beevor, David Glantz. This is a nice collection the essays for the most part are easy to understand even for the nonexpert. There are some limitations. It is quite short. Some are more like executive summaries than anything else. I understand that they wanted to get as many contributors as possible but it is still slightly frustrating. That being said this is an excellent book and I found a few new authors to look up.

Recommended.
