The Gorbachev Factor by Archie Brown
Archie Brown delivers the definitive account of the political career of Mikhail Gorbachev - the most important figure in world politics in the latter half of the 20th century. Packed with fascinating insight, it is a major study of Gorbachev's rise to the top, his political style and evolving beliefs, his influences, the political context in which he operated, and the dramatic role he played both in world politics and in the evolution of his own country from one-party dictatorship to hitherto-unknown freedom of speech and political pluralism.
Archie Brown is Emeritus Professor of Politics at Oxford University and an Emeritus Fellow of St. Antony's College, Oxford, where he was a Professor of Politics and Director of St. Antony's Russian and East European Centre. In 2010 he received one of the three Diamond Jubilee Lifetime Achievement in Political Studies Awards. Brown is considered one of the foremost experts in Soviet and Communist politics, the Cold War, and political leadership, and has advised several political leaders, including Margaret Thatcher on the eve of Gorbachev's first visit to Britain. The author or editor of over eighteen books, including The Gorbachev Factor and The Rise and Fall of Communism -- both winners of the W.J.M. Mackenzie Prize for best political science book of the year -- Brown lives in Oxford.
