Picnic at the Iron Curtain. Susan Viets.
Picnic at the Iron Curtain. Susan Viets. 2012. ISBN 9780987966407. This book is useful to observers of Putin’s present day efforts to rebuild the Russian empire. The author was a newbie journalist who set up shop in the Ukraine just before the Russian federation under Gorbachev imploded and all those new countries set up shop in the Balkans and the Ukraine. It is fascinating to read these reports of her visits to all the surrounding areas as they echo the reverse of what is happening today. Great book for a two to three hour flight. As a journalist the author knows how to write good copy.
