Failed crusade

by Stephen F. Cohen

"In this book, Stephen F. Cohen reveals what has really happened in Russia since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and the complicity of U.S. policy in a great human tragedy. Drawing on many years of studying and living in Russia, Cohen shows that what American officials and other experts call "reform" has for most Russians been a catastrophe and for the United States the worst foreign policy disaster since Vietnam: the unprecedented demodernization and destabilization of a fully nuclearized twentieth-century country."--BOOK JACKET.
