As a frequent visitor to the Soviet Union, and regular reader of
Kibernetica, I don't get the feeling that the "Russians are out in
left field" - nor do I feel that the book is particularly
illuminating.  It is readable and provides some excellent insight to
the non-professional.  However the hype and reality is carefully
interwoven.  After all how professional is the "pointing of a
trembling finger at the Japanese".  Take your pick.
