| Description: | A major reassessment of one of the most important-and complex-political figures of the modern age In this penetrating biography, Timothy J. Colton,one of the English-speaking world''s foremost experts on Russia,traces the life and struggles of Russia''s first popularly elected president, Boris Yeltsin. Colton vividly narrates the life of a man who rose from agrarian roots to forge a new destiny for Russia and whose attempt at bringing democracy to his countrymen remains one of the great unfinished stories of our time. Yeltsin provides a refreshing portrait of this controversial yet critical leader who buried the Soviet Union and birthed its troubled heir. |
