book review

Do not buy the pretentiously titled "25th December 1991, The Last Day Of The Soviet Union," by former Irish Times editor Conor Clery, who received a trophy Russian wife courtesy of the KBG and whose newspaper itself was a KGB run operation from at least the 1970's and whose contempt for both Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin, casting Gorby as hopelessly vain and Yeltsy as a pathetic drunk, is based on nothing more than Clery's own regret as a Soviet agent about the demise of atheistic Communism worldwide.
