In telling Yeltsin's story, the author recounts the struggles of a great nation at one of its most fateful moments and chronicles the twentieth century's last great revolution.
"In his ambitious and perfectly timed new biography...Aron sets out to reclaim Yeltsin from the cartoonists and establish his importance as the instrument of a profound transformation of Russia. It is a complex and nuanced portrait, not adoring but unabashedly admiring. A godsend . . . a fine, full-blooded political portrait." --Bill Keller, New York Times
