A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Khodorkovsky's arrest and trial turned him into a cause célèbre for critics of the Kremlin; thankfully Sixsmith...avoids the impulse to lionize Khodorkovsky and by doing so, manages to give the reader a more complete portrait of a very complex man."" --Ed Hancox, The Mantle

Martin Sixsmith's seductive blend of investigative journalism and contemporary history charts the rise and fall over nearly 20 years of Russia's oil giant Yukos and its main proprietor Mikhail Borisovich Khodorkovsky. --International Affairs
