Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I have personnally known Dr.Jonathan Goldstein for more than fifteen years.He is without a doubt one of this centuries greatest historians ever. I honestly believe that he is the next greatest Morison to come down the pike in many years.I was priviledged and honored to have had Dr.Goldstein at Nasson Colege for The History Of Modern Russia and for Western Civilization.
