  • Description

    A two-decade journey, panoramic in scope yet intimate in detail, through the hopes, sorrow, and conflagrations of an unraveled empire and the people living in it Spectactular, shocking, and sometimes heartbreaking, the collapse of the USSR--an entity that spanned one-sixth of the world's land mass and was hometo more than 100 indigenous ethnic groups--continues to reverberate after two decades. As some of the emergent new countries begin to shed totalitarianism, others seek to revive their own dead empires. Civil and ethnic wars rage on. Through a series of episodes and vignettes, stories both personal and otherwise, reporter Lawrence Sheets transports readers through the epic that was and is the breakup of the Soviet Union. Full of humor, grief, and the kinds of broad historical and political insights that could only come from a 20-year veteran of the region, Eight Pieces of Empire offers an enduring portrait of life in the immense shadow of empire. About the Author LAWRENCE SHEETS is an NPR contributor and is a senior analyst of the South Caucasus region for the International Crisis Group. He was the Caucasus bureau chief for Reuters for eight years and chief of NPR's Moscow bureau for four years.
