Solid hardcover. ; "This book is a chronicle of six men who helped lead Russia in one of the grandest, most arduous experiments ever attempted: to transform a vast country, in the grip of failed socialism, into the economy of free market capitalism. ... The oligarchs took over the crown jewels of Russian industry, commanded private armies, played kingmaker in elections, and held sway over the country and its citadel of finance, Moscow. They bought up the Russian mass media, especially television, and they seized not only factories but also the assets of the state itself, including the budget, the law enforcement system, and the Kremlin leadership. In their swaggering domination of early Russian capitalism, they were secretive, deceptive, and, at times, ruthlessly violent." ; 567 pages.
