Krátky popis
' ... deeply penetrating history and engrossing psychological
study.' Robert Legvold, Foreign Affairs MagazineFrom the Pulitzer
Prize-winning author of Khrushchev: The Man and his Era 'An
engaging, poignant portrayal of one of the most significant of
Russian leaders.' Kirkus review. 'William Taubman's Gorbachev, like
his Khrushchev, is an extraordinary achievement, full of new
information, filled with shrewd judgments, a two-in-a-row triumph
in the writing of great lives.' - John Lewis Gaddis, Pulitzer
Prize-winning author of George F. Kennan: An American Life `Nobody
before Taubman has achieved an in-depth psychological
portrait...what made Gorbachev tick, as a man and a leader, has
always been hooded in speculation...A highly readable, reliable and
accurate work, one that will be used by all future generations of
historians... This monumental biography will become the standard
personal portrait, especially of the years before Gorbachev became
party secretary. Taubman has charmed more out of him than any of
his subordinates ever managed to' Robert Service, Literary Review
`Impressive... full of fascinating detail' Peter Conradi, Sunday
Times `Comprehensive and immensely readable' The Economist This is
the definitive biography on one of the most important and
controversial figures of the 20th century. Drawing on interviews
with Gorbachev himself, transcripts and documents from the Russian
archives, and interviews with Kremlin aides and adversaries, as
well as foreign leaders, Taubman's intensely personal portrait
extends to Gorbachev's remarkable marriage to a woman he deeply
loved, and to the family that they raised together. Nuanced and
poignant, yet unsparing and honest, this sweeping account has all
the amplitude of a great Russian novel.90 illustrations When
Mikhail Gorbachev became its leader in March 1985, the USSR was
still one of the world's two superpowers. By the end of his tenure
six years later, the Communist system was dismantled, the cold war
was over and, on 25th December 1991, the Soviet Union itself ceased
to exist. While not solely responsible for this remarkable
upheaval, he set decisive changes in motion. Assessments of
Gorbachev could not be more polarised. In the West, he is regarded
as a hero. In Russia, he is widely hated by those who blame him for
the collapse of the USSR. Admirers marvel at this vision and
courage. Detractors, including many of his Kremlin comrades, have
accused him of everything from naivete to treason.
