Recenzje

"Trenin's succinct, balanced, and thoughtful book is a valuable guide to modern Russian history as seen from the other side." Sir Rodric Braithwaite, former British ambassador in Moscow and author of Armageddon & Paranoia: The Nuclear Confrontation "A brilliant, concise interpretation of 120 years of Russian history, plus an insightful look at the future. Essential reading for all concerned about the dangerous - and unnecessary - revival of Cold War tensions." Jack Matlock, former US ambassador and author of Reagan and Gorbachev: How the Cold War Ended "Admirably succinct and thought-provoking" Edward Lucas, The Times
