The Last Empire: The Final Days of the Soviet Union by Serhii Plokhy

3.0

Fairly interesting, if a bit dry. Basically the political situation in the former Soviet Union during it's last six months in existence with a lot of attention given to the final week. I found the first half of the book more interesting than the second half, but altogether it was an interesting view on the fall of the country. The author clearly did his research and it shows. The book is also well written and really clipped along.
