Know about the book -

The Rise of Russia and the Fall of the Soviet Empire is written by John B. Dunlop and published by Princeton, N.J. : Princeton University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0691078750 (ISBN 10) and 9780691078755 (ISBN 13).

This is the first work to set one of the great bloodless revolutions of the twentieth century in its proper historical context. John Dunlop pays particular attention to Yeltsin's role in opposing the covert resurgence of Communist interests in post-coup Russia, and faces the possibility that new institutions may not survive long enough to sink roots in a traditionally undemocratic culture.
