Editorial Reviews

Somewhat chagrined that his 1989 Political economy of Soviet military power was overtaken by events, Cooper attempts an update, focusing on the plans for economic reform in the Soviet Union by Gorbachev. Oh well. Draws almost exclusively on original Soviet sources. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
