If the whole book is written by one author, mistakes and shortcomings
are inevitable. In German there is a similar book ed. by Karl Schlvgel.
Der Grosse Exodus. Munich 1994, 448 p., ISBN 3 406 38656 3

This one deals with the emigration up to WWII, and every single chapter
is written by another author (most of them translated from English). I
think such an approach is better, because no one can deal with all
aspects of Russian emigration on an equal level of quality.

Kind regards
