Has anybody here read this? From what I've gathered it covers a lot which has been posted here.

I've read it. Its very good. Some of its assertions are debateable (tracing Gorbachev back to Khruschev back to Bukharin) but it covers Gorby's entire career as a way of establishing why he did what he did.

It also covers some of the failures of Khruschev as well.

There is a wealth of good material including relatively unscutinized aspects of the Soviet Union such as the black/gray/shadow/underground economy (the authors admit that the terms are used ambiguously and/or interchangeably).

Definitely worth reading.

Thanks, I'll give it a look.

In the meantime some one is making the connection between Bukharin and Webb and twisting that into a good thing.
