Nikita Khrushchev and the Creation of a Superpower

More Is Known About Nikita Khrushchev Than About Many Former Soviet Leaders, Partly Because Of His Own Efforts To Communicate Through Speeches, Interviews, And Memoirs. (a Partial Version Of His Memoirs Was Published In Three Volumes In 1970, 1974, And 1990, And A Complete Version Was Published In Russia In 1999 And Will Appear In An English Translation To Be Published By Penn State Press.) But Even With The Opening Of Party And State Archives In 1991, As William Taubman Points Out In His Foreword, Many Questions Remain Unanswered. In This Book Sergei Tells The Story Of How The Cold War Happened In Reality From The Russian Side, Not From The American Side, And This Is His Most Important Contribution.--jacket.
