Russian
and Soviet History Book Sale
Books from the collection of Richard Pipes, Frank B. Baird Jr.
Professor of History, emeritus
CGIS South Building, 3rd floor
1730 Cambridge Street
Wednesday, May 7, 2009
10 am - 6 pm
Stop by the 3rd floor of the CGIS South building this Wednesday to
browse an array of books on Russian and Soviet history. The books are
in both English and Russian, among other languages, and cover both the
imperial period, the 1917 Revolution, the Soviet period, and some on
the post-Soviet period.
Emeritus Professor Richard Pipes was a member of the Harvard faculty
from 1950 until his retirement in 1996, and was involved with the Davis
Center throughout his career. He is the author of numerous
major works on Russian history, including The Unknown Lenin in
1996, Russia Under the Bolshevik Regime, and The Russian
Revolution. He chaired the CIA's "Team B" during that competitive
analysis exercise
in 1976, and was the head of the East European and Soviet desk at the
National Security Council under President Ronald Reagan.
