"Kalb, Harvard University foreign policy scholar and NBC’s former Moscow bureau chief, begins this gripping account of the intertwined fates and tortuous histories of Russia and Ukraine with a killer of a drop intro: the invasion of Crimea in March 2014. The clichés are serviceable (sleepless nights, bumpy rides), the phrasing journalistic (“Putin may be the worst of the current lot of possible Russian leaders, or he may be holding off someone even worse”), but Kalb’s willingness to foreground his point of view speaks of experience rather than ego.-Times Higher Education
