NIKITA KHRUSHCHEV
"Nikita Khrushchev was one of the most important political leaders of the twentieth century. Without his memoirs, neither the rise and fall of the Soviet Union nor the history of the Cold War can be fully understood. By dictating his memoirs and publishing them in the West, Khrushchev transformed himself from the USSRs leader to one of its first dissidents. His remarkably candid recollections were a harbinger of glasnost to come. Like virtually all memoirs, his have a personal and political agenda, but even what might be called Khrushchevs "myth of himself" is vital for understanding how this colorful figure could place his contradictory stamp on his country and the world. The fact that the full text of Khrushchevs memoirs will now be available in English is cause for rejoicing."
