Title: Strange, disorderly writing
Review: Before writing anything, it is probably useful to say that I have very little knowledge of the USSR in the years of its demise -- the very subject of this book. For me, Stephen Kotkin seemed to constantly lurch from point to point, only rarely making the connections between events explicit enough to form a cohesive narrative. Of course this was a tumultuous period in history, but I could not help but have the feeling that I was being presented with a series of jumbled facts only half-related to one another. The section on the attempted 1991 coup, for instance, was particularly intolerably obscure and uninformative, and I had to resort to other, more readily available texts to have an understanding of its events.
