[This book] gives a fairly clear picture of how the great Soviet Union was put together by armed force and then held in place by a ruthless secret police. This is timely information as these dynamic forces are now relaxed and chaos spreads [in the former Soviet Union]".<P>-- New York Times Book Review<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>W.
