Discovering Russia:
200 Years of American Journalism

"If you are fascinated with Russia, if you are curious about the craft of journalism and its seemingly endless failings... then Mr. Seeger has answers that will slake your thirst and discomfit you at the same time."
--Washington Times, Nov. 30, 2005

"By the end of it all, the reporters who worked in Moscow will reminded of why they did. Those who never worked there might well wonder why they did not."
--Nieman Reports, Winter 2005
