Reviews

[Sydney · Rating 3 out of 5]

A well-researched, interesting investigation into American business' interaction with Russian politicians in the late 1800's through the 1980's. The inconceivable greed and lack of morality of the ultra-rich businessmen portrayed in this book are eclipsed only by the politicians and their billionaire supporters of today.

[Kevin · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is not my cup of tea, but looking at the book from taking a step back it is a wealth of information on trade relations with Russia and how some powerful americans made an impact. It is well researched and full of facts that most probably knew happened.
