Serhii Plokhy. Ostannya imperia. (The Last Empire. The Final Days of the Soviet Union)

"The analysis of declassified documents and interviews with participants of the events bring one to the conclusion: the collapse of the USSR was not a result of activities of the United States' special services, on the contrary, American leaders feared the sudden collapse of the Soviet state. Ukraine became a key player in the drama of the Union's collapse, and it showed the way to statehood for less determined republics, such as Belarus and Kazakhstan.
It is a new, bold interpretation of the last months of the Soviet Union, a fresh look at the causes and prerequisites for the death of this political organism without bias or prejudice."
