Most reviews give the reviewer's view of a subject, and they are often critical. My approach is different. I review ONLY books that I think are good, and then I try to give some reasons for recommending them, using longish quoted passages so that the reader can form his or her own idea of the quality of the writing or the style of argument. My reviews are short, structured and, I hope, easily readable.
All the books I cover are available to buy through Amazon, and I give links both to that and to where readers can see the authors performing online, mostly discussing the book in question or the ideas behind it. This means that readers in Russia, for example, where Amazon does not penetrate so far, can still see the authors making their arguments. It is not as good as reading the book, but it is a lot better than nothing. For those who have read the books, it adds something personal too.
I categorize the books by the subjects I am interested in which are, more or less in this order:
- Russia (law and history mostly),
- Law (how the rule of law developed and the people who developed it)
- the Anglo-American legal world from a historical point of view, including Ireland and Scotland.
They are all books I have read in the course of my research for my own book, to be called: Russia, and the Rule of Law (see short film at the link). Why not try the site and see what you think? This is the link: https://www.moffatrussianconferences.com/ian-mitchell-s-russia
