fast-paced

Good account of the overlap of business, human rights, and crime. 

Fascinating, real-life thriller with tons of insight into Putin and aspects of Russian politicians psychology.

I learned a lot form this one. I thought the beginning and end were very well written the middle was a bit tough going.

This story is pretty freaking wild. What starts as a fairly interesting autobiographical account of the grandson of the former head of the American Communist Party who goes to business school and finds the investing opportunity of a lifetime in post Soviet Russia becomes so much more. A human rights story of Russian torture, lies, and corruption, it honestly read like a political thriller. The author comes off a bit self righteous, but after hearing this story I can’t really blame him. Recommend checking this out even if you don’t care about the investment firm life

A stunning account of 'Russia today' as Browser calls it
