Lädt ... Khrushchev: A Political Lifevon William J. Tompson
Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Khrushchev: A Political Life traces the rise and fall of the late Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev. Drawing on newly available archival materials and a wealth of recently published Russian and Ukrainian sources, this standard biography provides much new information on Khrushchev's life and career. Khrushchev's ultimate failure to realise his vision of the Soviet future is linked to the unrealistic optimism of that vision as well as to the contradictions inherent in Khrushchev's views and policies.

Khrushchev is fascinating. This book gives a lot of detail about him, his origins and accomplishments. He is kind of an enigma to many in the west, perhaps more so than Stalin or Brezhnev. So much is storied about Stalin. Brezhnev was more available in media or at least to an audience listening to it about foreign issues. However, Khrushchev as no small player in higher echelons of Russian politics. Perhaps he was the most dramatic and outspoken of old-school Russian leaders.
I enjoyed the book. It will give you insight into events like the Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK and Castro; all of which are salient to Americans as many of us were dynamically affected by these. (
