The End of the Beginning: Lessons of the Soviet Collapse by Carlos Martinez

informative reflective fast-paced

4.5

really fantastic and easy to read introduction to “what went wrong” with the soviet union. the book was short and quick and the whole thing felt like an essay in style which was nice. reading it made me realize how lacking my historical knowledge still is & it offered a nice springboard for further research.
