Storming the Barricades by Larry Christiansen?

Is it a book for newbies or should you be more advanced?

i dont know

same here

I have both Larry C's books; (I bought one inscribed from him on ICC at a cheaper price than I could find elsewhere.)

Probably not for beginners, but much more accessible than say, best games by Nunn (a great author) or Alekhine.

I find his books great in terms of instruction and entertainment value.

I would guess 1500+ USCF. (I am an old 2000 USCF for comparison.)
