Summary: The Mans a Genius!
Comment: While studying for my degree at the University of Kent where he teaches, I took both of Prof. Sakwa's main modules, and so this book was obviously central to both the courses. First of all I must say in the flesh he nice guy and a supurb teacher and I found his lectures and seminars among the best I attended during my studies, mainly because of his immence knowledge of Eastern European and Russian politics.
To put it bluntly he is the among the top 2 or 3 leading experts in the world on the subject and should you be studying Russian politics THERE IS NOT A BETTER BOOK THAN THIS. Its gives a great overview of pretty much any topic you might meet in a Russian political course and is packed with information and Sakwa's personal insights and thoughts. I cannot recommend this book (and his others) highly enough. If your studying Russian politics get, it will help you pass!
