Sale Of The Century by Chrystia Freeland
An authoritative insider's view of today's Russia - a Russian 'BARBARIANS AT THE GATE
We now have a superb piece of reportage on the central years of the oligarchic era - which may prove, at least in its pure form, to be coterminous with the Yeltsin period.. This book ... is a tremendous illumination of early Russian business methods... Freeland's account of the central deal of the era... reads, at times, like Tom Wolfe's A Man in Full * John Lloyd, NEW STATESMAN *
If Marx could read SALE OF THE CENTURY, he would undoubtedly applaud. * Professor Jerry Brotton *
This could so easily have been a deeply inpenetrable book. The shenanigans involving the assorted sell-offs, buy-outs and changing alliances in Russia in the past ten years have been so complex as to leave even dedicated readers feeling confused. Chrystia Freeland's achievement in SALE OF THE CENTURY is thus all the more remarkable in weaving a gripping narrative out of all the anarchy and chaos. * INDEPENDENT *
