A scrupulously documented, fascinating account of six businessmen whose profiteering amid the near-anarchy and corruption that followed collapse of the Soviet Union skyrocketed them to positions of immense power in the New Russia. Written by the acclaimed former Moscow bureau chief for the Washington Post, it's an engrossing tale of capitalism born from chaos.
