Reviews

[Laura Edwards]

Definitely dated, as most current event books are 30 years after the fact.

"Moscow Spring" is filled with the cautious hope that blossomed in Russia during the Gorbachev years. Reading it years later when knowing how those hopes fizzled offers the opposite reading experience, depressing rather than hopeful.

[Dorothy]

Personalize and interesting view from two Americans living in the Russia during the fall of the Soviet Union.
