The Soviet economy and the approach of war, 1937-1939, by R. W. Davies, Mark Harrison, Oleg Khlevniuk, and S. G. Wheatcroft (Palgrave, 2018) marks the conclusion of a forty-year project of research on Soviet industrialisation funded by the ESRC, based at CREES, and led by former CREES director Bob Davies. The book begins with the Great Terror and ends with the Hitler-Stalin pact and the outbreak of World War II in Europe. During that time, Soviet society was repeatedly mobilised against internal and external enemies, and the economy provided a principal arena of that struggle.
This event is free to attend and all are welcome.
