BRAIN FOOD

These books are like carrots & banana's, good for the eyes & the brain!

Cold War Years:

Oh god look at the pt size.

This is more brain food than eye food...I did say good for the brain, but in small doses! It's a bit intense and includes such a sparse and diverse history that I just can't seem to grasp. A bit too...Soviet?! At least it's keeping with the theme of the information in it! Too wordy for my liking. It does have really good information and is complete with maps, keys and diagrams. But, i've got to admit, I've been having to re-read everything and I'm not getting a hell of a lot of info stay in my brain, just thinking "shit, there's a hell of a lot I still don't know!" This book would definitely laugh at me if it could...It's certainly not a beginners guide!

I'm in desperate need for some visual treats here!!! Big headings and synopses are more my cup of tea on this subject...

Red Star Over Russia:

This is more like it... I definitely prefer carrots. Lots of information that has seeped through my eye sockets and curled up for what I hope will be a long time.



Lenin & Stalin...





This is just a bit of insight into Stalin's regime...
