Review # 1 was written on 2015-03-11 00:00:00 Nicholas Staub Excellent. Has no competitor in providing an economic history of South Vietnam. You can't truly understand the Vietnam War until you read this book.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-09-21 00:00:00 Eugene Cronje Cronje First book on recent Russian development, solved many of my concerns on Russian's attitude towards the West and their past. Authors tactfully included comparison of Yelsin's & Gorbachev's neoliberal approach with the (still-continuing) Chinese economic reform - interesting to see the absence of the Chinese way in the last section, where authors chose to talk vague on idealized theories - on the lessons for future socialism. It deserves 5-star, but the last section is quite vague.
