The book presents and interprets new information on Khrushchev’s struggle for power, public attitudes toward him, his role in agricultural reform and cultural politics, and such foreign policy issues as East-West relations, nuclear strategy, and relations with Germany. It also chronicles Khrushchev’s years in Ukraine where he grew up and began his political career, serving as Communist party boss from 1938 to 1949, and his role in mass repressions of the 1930s and in destalinization in the 1950s and 1960s. Two concluding chapters compare the regimes of Khrushchev and Gorbachev as they struggled to reform Communism, to humanize and modernize the Soviet system, and to answer the haunting question that persists today: Is Russia itself reformable?
?This book is a gem for Khruschev watchers.??Martin McCauley, American Historical Review
?[This book] makes excellent use of the new documentary sources and is a welcome addition to the historical literature on Khrushchev. . . . This is an excellent collection. . . . The essays are uniformly well written, insightful, and persuasive.??Cal Clarke, Perspectives on Political Science
?There is no way that a brief review can do justice to this fine, informative, provocative volume. It must be carefully read and reread to extract all the thoughts and insights that crowd its pages. . . . [It] provides future scholars with a wealth of thoughtful insights and a superbly rich range of archival and bibliographical sources from which to begin further studies into Khrushchev?s policies, achievements, and errors.??Theodore H. Friedgut, Slavic Review
