Excerpt from The New Era in Russia The following criticisms have already been received on this work, and we ask that you give it a careful reading and do what you can to give it a wide circulation. My Dear Sir: I did not acknowledge the receipt of your book, "A New Era in Russia," until I was able, in the hurry of the session, to read it, which I have done with great pleasure and satisfaction. I confess that your book gives me new ideas upon the subject, and presents the question of banishment to Siberia in a very different light from what I had gathered from other sources. Dear Sir: Please accept my thanks for the copy of "The New Era in Russia" which you sent me. I have read your book with a great deal of interest and pleasure. I have been in Russia during the past twelve years several times. I have met many prominent men, and discussed with them the political position of Russia in relation to her own people and outside nations and people. I thank you again for the copy of your book, which will serve the people of this country and Russia well. I beg to say that I believe and have faith in Russia and her people.

" . . . a comprehensive look at an enigmatic era . . . " —Choice "This provocative collection of essays certainly takes some of the polish off Soviet socialism's golden age." —Journal of Interdisciplinary History "The authors and editors of this splendid volume deserve great praise. Their work moves the field of Soviet history several large steps forward." —Slavic Review Lenin's New Economic Policy of the 1920s, although a relatively free and open potential alternative to Soviet communism, was also a time of extreme tension, as Russian society and culture were rocked by the forces of resistance and change. These essays examine the social and cultural dimensions of NEP in urban and rural Russia in the years before Stalin and rapid industrialization.
