Epic Catastrophe

Having intensely reviled McCauley's "Bandits, Gangsters and the Mafia: Russia, the Baltic States and the CIS Since 1991," I looked for other books by him and thought he must have written SOME good things. I was wrong.

In this loosely organised collection of miniature biographies, McCauley takes every opportunity to force home his sour prejudice against Russians. To those who use this for reference material, I would strongly advise caution into believing the more emotive terminology selected by McCauley. This publication is vast with much information, but about as objective as a North Korean press release. Use other books to achieve some degree of balance.
