Great insight into the end of the USSR

Just finished reading this book. Although it is obvioulsy written from Yeltsin's point of view, and he thinks quiet well of himself, it is nevertheless extremely interesting to understand some of the inner workings of the USSR government. The politics are rough and tumble, and not without some intrique.I would definetly recommend this to any one who has the remotest interest in this field.
