Good reading for a MiG fanatic

I bought this book a long time ago..over 10 years ago. What I loved most was the wealth of technical data about the MiG-21, 23 and 25 along with a very insightful first chapter on the history of the Mikoyan design bureau and the dynamics that go behind Russian fighter design.The chapters on the MiG-29 and 31 were understandably sketchy as at that time, info about these fighters was hazy, but Sweetman does a great job of analyzing the imperatives behind the new generation fighters- the MiG-29 becasue the MiG-23 was completely outmatched by the F-15/18 and the MiG-31 to counter the B-1/cruise missile threat.The one piece I found lacking was more combat info , especially on the Fishbed, which has fought in most major wars, and done pretty well over Vietnam and India. Other than that, a first rate acquisition!
