Book Synopsis Gorbachev and Perestroika by : Martin McCauley
Download or read book Gorbachev and Perestroika written by Martin McCauley and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a narrative and analysis of the first four years of the Gorbachev phenomenon. All areas of great significance are covered. Special attention is paid to the economy, nationality affairs and foreign affairs. Gorbachev's standing abroad is much higher than at home. Seen by many abroad as a charismatic figure, he has still to convince the average worker and farmer that perestroika is good for them. The first four years present a fascinating tableau of Soviet change and resistance to change. This book provides the reader with the insights to understand the processes now under way in the largest country in the world. For those who wish to be informed about the Soviet Union and aim to follow events there, it will be required reading.

Book Synopsis The Rise and Fall of Gorbachev by : Dmitriĭ Mikheev
Download or read book The Rise and Fall of Gorbachev written by Dmitriĭ Mikheev and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One such puzzle is the phenomenon of Gorbachev. Dozens of books and thousands of articles have already been written about his upbringing, his decisions, his words, his image, his career, and his behavior. His wife, close associates, friends, and enemies have written books about him. Yet the real Gorbachev, as man and as politician, still defies explanation. Perhaps the most striking paradox of the Gorbachev puzzle is the fact that a leader so admired around the world could be so hated despised, and pitied by so many people in his own country. He captured the imaginations of the world and was talked about as a new messiah, yet so many of his countrymen, when asked about Gorbachev, could hardly fight back their loathing toward "the man who changed the world." The political dimension of Gorbachev's saga is the drama of gaining enormous power and losing it all.

Download or read book Stalinism and After written by Alec Nove and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-06-28 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on personal experience of life in the Soviet Union Nove explains the phenomenon of Stalinism and its aftermath. In highly readable style, Professor Nove traces the origins of Stalinism, analyzes its nature and achievements, examines the process of destalinization which followed Stalin's death, and explores the evolution of the Soviet system under Krushchev and Brezhnev. Stalinism and After is not a biography; it is a study of the effect of the political personalities of one man and his successors on the development of Soviet history. It is within this context that Professor Nove examines the new thinking of Gorbachev and the now-familiar catchwords of his regime: perestroika, glasnost, demokratizatsiya, and uskoreniye.

Book Synopsis A World Transformed by : George H. W. Bush
Download or read book A World Transformed written by George H. W. Bush and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-12-07 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was one of the pivotal times of the twentieth century--during George Bush's presidency, an extraordinary series of international events took place that materially changed the face of the world. Now, former President Bush and his national security advisor, Brent Scowcroft, tell the story of those tumultuous years. Here are behind-the-scenes accounts of critical meetings in the White House and of summit conferences in Europe and the United States, interspersed with excerpts from Mr. Bush's diary. We are given fresh and intriguing views of world leaders such as Mikhail Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin, Margaret Thatcher, Helmut Kohl, and François Mitterrand--and witness the importance of personal relationships in diplomacy. There is the dramatic description of how President Bush put together the alliance against Saddam Hussein in the Gulf War. There are the intensive diplomatic exchanges with Beijing following the events of Tiananmen Square, and the intricate negotiations leading up to German reunification. And there is the sometimes poignant, sometimes grim portrayal of Gorbachev's final years in power. A World Transformed is not simply a record of accomplishment; Bush and Scowcroft candidly recount how the major players sometimes disagreed over issues, and analyze what mistakes were made. This is a landmark book on the conduct of American foreign policy--and how that policy is crucial to the peace of the world. It is a fascinating inside look at great events that deepens our understanding of today's global issues.
Book Synopsis Gorbachev and His Revolution by : Mark Galeotti
Download or read book Gorbachev and His Revolution written by Mark Galeotti and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 1997 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By turns radical, uncertain, ambitious, and autocratic, Mikhail Gorbachev in his bid to reform the Soviet Union has shaped the contemporary world. In 1985, he set out to modernize the Soviet state and revive his Communist Party. Instead, by the end of 1991, the USSR had fragmented and the Party was banned. Institutions which had survived for 70 years, notwithstanding Stalin's murderous purges and the Nazi war machine, proved unable to survive his well-meant reforms. This is a concise and lively introduction to the man and his times, setting them in the context of a decaying and ramshackle empire and an ideology long since betrayed by its professed followers. Simply and clearly, it follows Gorbachev's increasingly desperate attempts to control the forces he unleashed and hold together a state whose days were over. Ultimately, Gorbachev failed yet, as this study concludes, from his revolution arose an historic opportunity to redefine Russia's place in the world and break with a centuries-long autocratic tradition.
