I also started reading Applebaum's Gulag, seems also nicely written, but I am only at the beginning. I am also reading Blood Telegram by Garry J Bass on the break up of West and East Pakistan (Bangladesh) and Kissinger and Nixon's role. Finished more than half of the book, very well written and informative.

Yes, it had the feel of an unfinished tale at the end; I had the feeling that he wanted to say more. I wonder what he would have to say in detail about the coup d'etat against Diem, the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, the Tet offensive ...
Thanks for the recommendation for
Blood Telegram - oh my groaning TBR.
