Gorbachev by Mikhail Gorbachev
Here is the whole sweep of the Soviet experiment and experience, as told by its last steward. Drawing on his own experience as well as rich archival material, Gorbachev ponders Russia's past, present, and future place in the world-including the October Revolution, the Cold War, and key figures such as Lenin, Stalin, and Yeltsin.
We find passages of perceptive analysis that we should not ignoreForeign Affairs Gorbachev's authorship alone makes this book an important text... [His] take on history and his analysis of global issues are unique and provocative no matter where one stands in the political spectrum. Booklist (starred review)
