SHORTLISTED FOR THE PUSHKIN HOUSE BOOK PRIZE 2018 From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Khrushchev: The Man & his Era `A phenomenally researched life of the man who did more than any other to change Europe & the world in the last half of the 20th century`. Jonathan Steele, The Guardian ` An engaging, poignant portrayal of one of the most significant of Russian leaders` Kirkus review `.. . deeply penetrating history & engrossing psychological study.` Robert Legvold, Foreign Affairs Magazine ` Impressive... full of fascinating detail` Peter Conradi, Sunday Times ` Comprehensive & immensely readable` The Economist `superb...an extraordinary story of one man & history in a tense wrestling match` The Washington Post This is the definitive biography on one of the most important & controversial figures of the 20th century. Drawing on interviews with Gorbachev himself, transcripts & documents from the Russian archives, & interviews with Kremlin aides & adversaries, as well as foreign leaders, Taubman`s intensely personal portrait extends to Gorbachev`s remarkable marriage to a woman he deeply loved, & to the family that they raised together. Nuanced & poignant, yet unsparing & honest, this sweeping account has all the amplitude of a great Russian novel. 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 &, 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 & courage. Detractors, including many of his Kremlin comrades, have accused him of everything from naivete to treason. ...
