Bridget's feedback:

"This is an impressive piece that shows excellent control of the book review form, the material, and the higher- and lower-order concerns of the writing. You move efficiently through the discussion, and the style is dynamic and engaging. I have two areas I would like to check in on. The first is the quotation in paragraph 2 ("I think that if he [Stalin]..."), which would be better incorporated into the flow of your text. The second is what may or may not be a quotation (text following "Molotov himself predicts:...", last paragraph). The reader has trouble determining if this is a quotation or paraphrase, or a stylistic ventriloquism--make sure to clarify this. Finally, and based on how this will be presented, the name of the text should be provided either in the writing itself or in a title."
