Autopsy for an Empire : The Seven Leaders Who Built the Soviet Regime

A revered scholar and tireless chronicler of his times, Dmitri Volkogonov raced against time to finish his final book before his death from cancer in 1995. The result is a brillant magnus opus — a complete protrait of the U.S.S.R. from the bloody 1917 Russian Revolution to the political coup of 1991.
