History always comes down to the details. & when it comes to the fall of the Soviet Union, the details are crucial, especially when such an era-defining event hinged on the bitter personal relationship between two powerful men, Mikhail Gorbachev & Boris Yeltsin. On the twentieth anniversary of the end of the Cold War, Conor O` Clery has built his compelling & brilliantly constructed narrative of the fall of the Soviet Union around one day, December 25, 1991, the date Gorbachev resigned & the USSR was effectively consigned to history. From there, O` Clery looks back over the events of the previous six years: Gorbachev`s reform policies of glasnost & perestroika; Yeltsin`s ignominious fall & then rise to the top; the defiance of the once docile Soviet republics; the failed August coup by the hardliners; &, the events that swiftly followed until a secret meeting in a central European forest sealed the fate of the communist monolith & the clock ticked down to the last day. The result is an intricately detailed, thoroughly researched book, based on interviews with many of the key figures in a drama of Shakespearean intensity as well as contemporary reportage, the memoirs & diaries of key political figures & official documents. The book is written at a breathtaking, dramatic pace, drawing the reader in as it focuses equally on the personal & historical stories. ” Moscow, December 25, 1991” is set to become a defining book on the fall of the Soviet Union. ...
