Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Slight foxing to edge. Slight shelf wear to top edge of D/J. The second Russian revolution - perestroika - began in 1985 when Mikhail Gorbachev was selected as Soviet leader. But it could have started almost two years ealier, had it not been for a conspiracy by three decrepit though still powerful members of the Kremlin 'Old Guard' to keep Gorbachev out of power. Other highlights of this eye-witness history of perestroika include: An account of the events of the night of 10 March 1985, when Gorbechev was selected as leader. Detailes of the internal rows in the Politburo over the disastrous anti-drink campaign of 1985. Why Gorbachev decided to release the human rights campaigner, Andrea Sakharov, from exile. How and why Gorbachev came to realise that tinkering with the Soviet political system was no good, and that only a radical reorginisation could save it. How hardline deputy, Yegor Ligachev, backed by the vast Communist Party machine, repeatedly tried to sabotage perestroika - and how maverick Boris Yeltsin, backed by the people, suggered for being one step ahead. How the world's second superpower gave up ints claims of superiority and allowed the nations of eastern Europe to overthrow their communist dictators. How Gorbachev's careful attempt to revolutinise the Soviet Union from above was overtaken by events, and turned into a popular revolution from below. The 1980s were a momentous decade for the Societ Union, with the arrival of Mikhail Gorbachev and his policy of glasnost, and though the 1990s find him established as a world leader he is facing mounting criticism for his policies from the people at home. With its first-hand sources and detailed analysis this book is a comprehensive and exceptionally ecciting account of an extraordinary period in the history of the Soviet Union.
