I read this after Red Plenty: Inside the Fifties’ Soviet Dream and found it to be a good supplementary title. The first 2/3 of the book are well-written, and I found myself looking forward to finding out what happens next. But once Browder has his visa revoked and is prevented from entering Russia, the pacing really slows and doesn’t ever speed up again, which is what took this review from 5 stars to 4.
Still, not many books can give you ~8 hours of ‘page-turning’ interest, especially when dealing with topics like international finance and human rights. Would definitely recommend reading, particularly for those with an interest in Soviet Russia and its impact on the current Russian Federation.
