Review # 1 was written on 2016-11-27 00:00:00 Timothy Dunn looks interesting. read about it in Joshua Cooper Ramo's "Brand China", also worth looking at.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-12-26 00:00:00 Karen R Spector Like the majority of the western historians when they write about the Soviet Union, the writer tended to defame the Soviet economy in a biased way. Mass collectivisation, capital goods industries, central planning are damned from the western point of view, damned because they were what made the Soviets great history. The book didn't provide any new information, only the old lies about famines, coercion, labour camps, and much more of the same stuff that Trotsky used against Stalin, especially the myth of exploiting the peasants to finance the mass industrialisation, which is used throughout the whole book.
