Compelling...an excellent book,It is well-written, and researched with meticulous care. Mike Bowker, Seer ...the book will encourage readers to revive their memories of the excitement of the Gorbachev years and to refine their own opinions on the man himself and his policies. Paul Dukes History Today There are few who can compete with Professor Brown in intensity of attention to Soviet politics and Soviet institutions, in nuanced approach, and in painstaking analysis Lilia Shevtsova, Pro et Contra Mikhail Gorbachev's most important biographer here passes judgement on the man and the process he unleashed ...
