'Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand what is happening in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union today.' Anne Appelbaum, author of 'Gulag' 'It is high time for the West to analyse the facts ... and work out a counter-strategy.' Vladimir Bukovsky, Soviet political dissident and Russian presidential candidate 'We can only hope that, like Winston Churchill's "Iron Curtain" speech in Fulton in 1946, this book will be a wake-up call for Western civilization.' Mart Laar, former Prime Minister of Estonia 'Absorbing ... an invaluable primer for students of the Russian situation and a cautionary tale for those who prefer to treat Russia as it pretends to be rather than as it is.' David Satter, author of 'Darkness at Dawn'
