Title: fully revised and updated? Not so!
Review: In hand are the fourth and fifth editions of A traveller's history of Russia. Or is it Russia and the USSR? Both forms appear in both editions. The fifth (2006) appears to be a verbatim reproduction of the fourth, with the addition of a paragraph on terrorism on p. 293. Even the preface is unchanged.The 4th ed. (2001) has such remarks as "what we now know as the USSR" (p. 1) and "The USSR is the largest country on the globe (p. 2)." Chapter 17 is captioned "The end of the Soviet Union." Such poor writing qualifies as misinformation. I view this publication askance. Especially since the covers of both these editions have "fully revised and updated."
