In For a Few Canards More, Aymeric Monville embarks upon a counter-polemical reexamination of Stalin and the Soviet Union, challenging the deeply entrenched narratives of Cold War historiography. Through meticulous research, Monville dismantles enduring myths and offers a compelling defense of Stalin's legacy with sharp critical analysis and wit. For a Few Canards More encourages readers to reconsider the misleading complexities of Soviet history and its often-demonized portrayal in Western discourse and media.
With sharp wit and a critical approach, Monville addresses the distortions and omissions that have shaped the largely-anglophone understanding of Soviet history. For a Few Canards More challenges its readers to critically engage with the past, with the discursive and hegemonic practices of Western media, and to question established historical orthodoxy. This thought-provoking work is essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper, more nuanced understanding of one of the most controversial and contested figures and periods of the 20th century.
