Hedrick Smith is a Pulitzer Prize-winning former New York Times reporter and Emmy award-winning producer and correspondent. After serving 26 years with The New York Times from 1962-88 as correspondent, editor and bureau chief in both Moscow and Washington. After college and serving three years in the U.S. Air Force, Smith joined United Press International in 1959, serving in bureaus in Memphis, Nashville, and Atlanta. In the early 1960s, Smith began his long tenure with The New York Times covering Martin Luther King Jr., John Lewis, and the civil rights struggle, including hot spots such as Birmingham, the desegregation of Ole Miss, and the March on Washington. Smith moved into television in 1989, reporting and producing more than 50 hours of long-form documentaries for PBS over the next 25 years on topics from the inside story of the terrorists who mounted the 9/11 attacks and Gorbachev's perestroika to Wall Street, Walmart and The Democracy Rebellion of grassroots citizen reform movements. Smith has authored five best-selling books including The Russians, The Power Game: How Washington Works, and Who Stole the American Dream?, and co-authored several other books, including The Pentagon Papers and Reagan: The Man, the President. Smith is currently Executive Editor of the website ReclaimTheAmericanDream. Smith's book The Russians, based on his years as the New York Times Moscow Bureau Chief from 1971-74, was a No. 1 American bestseller. It has been translated into 16 languages and academically used. Hedrick Smith has done what we all wish we could do: he has gone to Russia and spoken to the people. Over steaming samovars, in cramped flats, and on dirt-floors, he has spoken to peasants and bureaucrats, artists and officials. He has studied their customs and their governments and shares his fascinating insights and fresh perspectives with us. Derived from a Kirkus review: A study of ordinary existence and social structures in the Soviet Union by the Pulitzer Prize-winning former Moscow bureau chief of the New York Times. Smith's topical development puts the emphasis is on the; privileges of the ruling elite, the tribulations of shopping and housing for the masses, the inefficiencies in plant management, the conformity in schools, the vulgar joys of state weddings and bathhouses, and the lack of news in the press. Smith finds some of the same psychological characteristics--sentimentality, rudeness, privatism, and peasant passivity. The Russians includes a trip to Siberia where living facilities were shockingly inadequate for workers on development projects and a chapter on women, "liberated but not emancipated." Smith's tries to be fair--deriding the "bourgeois acquisitiveness" and "bourgeois tastes" of Soviet citizens as if there were something unsocialist about a desire for material comfort. Nadezhda Mandelstam, widow of the poet Osip and a fiercely candid old lady, is interviewed along with Solzhenitsyn, Andrei Sakharov and an array of officials. Smith concludes with a warning that East-West trade will not necessarily bring liberalization within the Soviet Union.
