[A] thorough treatment of radical reform policies and uncertain implementation in the USSRs twilight. -- Walter D. Connor, Boston University One of the great problems about perestroika has been the attitude of the Soviet masses to the ideas of reform. Another problem has been the woefully backward condition of the Soviet economy, which in its collapse under Gorbachev has made the term reform almost ironic. Previous writers on perestroika have tackled both problems in terms of generalities and platitudes about the technological backwardness of non-market economies. With Linda Cooks book, we get a very valuable correction of those views. -- Adam B. Ulam, Harvard University
