"[Plokhy's] vibrant, fast paced narrative style captures the story superbly" Sunday Times

WITH A SPELLBINDING narrative and a strikingly fresh perspective, Serhii Plokhy presents a page-turning account of the final six months of the Soviet Union - a period filled with failed coups d`état and political intrigue. Using recently declassified documents and original interviews with key participants. Plokhy shatters the established myths of 1991 and argues that George H. W. Bush desperately wanted to preserve the Soviet Union and keep Gorbachev inpower, and that it was Ukraine and not the US that played the key role in its collapse. This is essential reading for understanding Russia and Ukraine today.
