The Rise of Russia and the Fall of the Soviet Empire

By John B. Dunlop

Book Overview

This is the first work to set one of the great bloodless revolutions of the twentieth century in its proper historical context. John Dunlop pays particular attention to Yeltsin's role in opposing the covert resurgence of Communist interests in post-coup Russia, and faces the possibility that new institutions may not survive long enough to sink roots in a traditionally undemocratic culture.

Worked for me

I used this book to study for the DANTES test, The Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union, which I passed with a B. The book was easy enough to read and understand and was laid out fairly well. I can not compare it to any other history book on the Soviet Union, as this is the sole source I used to study for my test. But it was all I needed so I recommend it as a good source.
