The author was British ambassador to Moscow during the critical years of Perestrioka & the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Mikhail Gorbachev: 'This extremely interesting, truthful & honest book gives an objective & dramatic picture of Russia. If others in the West had understood my country as profoundly as Rodric Braithwaite does, history would have treated us all more kindly.'
