[citation needed] Brzezinski began working as a journalist in the early 1990s in Warsaw, writing for publications including The New York Times, The Economist, and The Guardian (UK).
[2] His work has also appeared in many other publications including The Washington Post Magazine,[3] the Los Angeles Times,[4] and Mother Jones.
His first book, Casino Moscow (Free Press, 2001)[6] is a first-person account of the "Wild East" atmosphere prevailing in Russia in the 1990s.
Brzezinski's third book, Red Moon Rising (Holt, 2007)[8] is a work of narrative nonfiction that tells the story of the race to space culminating in the Sputnik launch by the USSR on October 4, 1957, drawing on previously classified Soviet documents.
The book draws on interviews with surviving Resistance members and unpublished memoirs, as well as Polish-language sources and established academic works on the subject of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
