Sale of the Century takes us to the frozen gasfields of Siberia, the secret meetings of the magnates in their magnificent dachas and the plotting behind the walls of the Kremlin, in a gripping account of Russia's pot-communist odyssey. It tells the story of how Russia freed itself from communism, but not from the communist legacy; of how it built capitalism only to discover it had built the wrong kind. This is the story of Russia's capitalist revolution, and of how that revolution was betrayed.
