Book Reviews of Lenin's Tomb: The Last Days of the Soviet Empire
Book Review: Fascinating tour of the times leading up to and after the fall of the Soviet Union
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a fascinating exploration of the last days of the Soviet Union, providing a background of the broad mix of events and people involved both before, during and after the Gorbachev era. It maps the mindset and events during this dramatic change. It is told with a direct, personal style that I found gripping, and that gives a very good sense of the societal changes and impacts. I highly recommend it.
Summary of Lenin's Tomb: The Last Days of the Soviet Empire
"...the most eloquent chronicle of the Soviet empire's demise." --Washington Post Book World"...an extraordinary confluence of observation, hard work, knowledge, and reflection; a better book by a journalist on the withdrawing roar of the Soviet Union is hard to imagine." --The New York Times Book Review
In the tradition of John Reed's classic Ten Days That Shook the World, this bestselling account of the collapse of the Soviet Union combines the global vision of the best historical scholarship with the immediacy of eyewitness journalism. "A moving illumination . . . Remnick is the witness for us all."--Wall Street Journal.
