including the law's response to terrorism. Combining broad topic
coverage with an engaging writing style, Hoffman and Rowe provide
an outstanding platform for students wishing to gain an in-depth
and critical understanding of this contemporary, contentious and
constantly evolving area of law.
In this saga of brilliant triumphs and magnificent failures, David
E. Hoffman, the former Moscow bureau chief for the Washington Post,
sheds light on the hidden lives of Russia's most feared power
brokers: the oligarchs. Focusing on six of these ruthless men--
Alexander Smolensky, Yuri Luzhkov, Anatoly Chubais, Mikhail
Khodorkovsky, Boris Berezovsky, and Vladimir Gusinsky--Hoffman
shows how a rapacious, unruly capitalism was born out of the ashes
of Soviet communism.

The first full account of how the Cold War arms race finally came
to a close, this riveting narrative history sheds new light on the
people who struggled to end this era of massive overkill, and
examines the legacy of the nuclear, chemical, and biological
weapons that remain a threat today.
Drawing on memoirs, interviews in both Russia and the US, and
classified documents from deep inside the Kremlin, David E. Hoffman
examines the inner motives and secret decisions of each side and
details the deadly stockpiles that remained unsecured as the Soviet
Union collapsed. This is the fascinating story of how Reagan,
Gorbachev, and a previously unheralded collection of scientists,
soldiers, diplomats, and spies changed the course of history.
