- I don't know if anybody ever really dealt with the breakup of the Soviet
- Union specifically.
-
- I do recall reading a book dealing with an isolated America (U.S.) after the
- fall of Western Europe to communism. It was more a study of what happens when
- a state isolates itself completely from the rest of the world. Ironically,
- over the hundred years or so that pass between the fall of the West and the
- re-opening of America, the US had become a ideological dictatorship, sort of
- McCarthyist eutopia, while the rest of the world had pretty well become a
- single government, generally capitalist society. It was weird.
