‘Authoritative, lively... Black Earth is a splendid investigation into the collapse of a brave ideology and the millions of Russians who have been displaced by it.’ Ian Thomson, Sunday Times
‘Impressive... Meier has a genuine affection for the coutnry and its people, which helps him to see beyond the one-dimensional image one gets from foreign newspaper reports.’ Robin Buss, Independent on Sunday
‘The narrative course of Andrew Meier’s superb book takes the reader form the fleshpots of modern Moscow to the wastes of Siberia via the poverty stricken environmental disasters zone along the coast of the sea of Okhotsk and St Petersburg... Meier is an acute observer.’ Jason Burke, Observer
‘[Meier’s] knowledge of the country and his abiding love for its people stands out on every page of this book, making his journey through Russia after the fall an informed and scrupulously researched one.’ The Economist
‘Black Earth is the best investigation of post-Soviet Russia since David Remnick’s Resurrection. Andrew Meier is a truly penetrating eyewitness.’ Robert Conquest
‘If President Bush were to read only the chapters on Chechnya in Meier’s Black Earth, he would gain a priceless education about Putin’s Russia.’ Zbigniew Brzezinski
‘That Black Earth is an extraordinary work is, for anyone who has known Russia, beyond question.’ George Kennan
'An engrossing, beautifully written book about a country where "the death of an ideology has displaced millions"... Heartbreaking.' Publisher's Weekly
