Download or read book Gorbachev written by Martin McCauley and published by Longman Publishing Group. This book was released on 1998 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the first major study of Gorbachev to be written in the light of his own uniquely revealing (though self-serving) memoirs, with their startlingly intimate view of Kremlin life. Martin McCauley, a leading authority on the Soviet era, uses these and other recent materials with an acute critical intelligence to provide both an objective account of what happened - and why - during the momentous period of Soviet reform, failure and collapse, and also an authoritative assessment of Gorbachev himself. Born in 1931 to a peasant family - his mother, a devout Orthodox Christian who died in 1995, never learned to read or write - Gorbachev became one of the architects of the late twentieth-century world. Himself a communist, he moved gradually towards social democracy, and in so doing dismantled the dictatorship that had held Russia in a vice for over 70 years. He effected this momentous change without civil war - in itself a breathtaking achievement. He was less successful elsewhere. He attempted to re-introduce elements of a market economy, with reform from above (perestroika) and reform from below (glasnost); but only accelerated Russia's economic decline. However, it was his failure to defuse the nationalist aspirations of Russia's subject peoples that eventually brought him down. Gorbachev's legacy to Russia has been decidedly mixed; but he nevertheless gave freedom to people who had not known it for three-quarters of a century. His wider reputation stands much higher, as befits the man who, more than anyone else, helped end the Cold War. But how much of what he achieved did he intend? How much of what he failed to achieve did he misjudge? These are questions which Martin McCauleyaddresses in this incisive study. It is a milestone in Soviet historiography; and - in its immediacy - as gripping as a Cold War thriller as it opens up the claustrophobic and intensely personal world of the Soviet leadership.

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.
Download or read book The Rise and Fall of the Soviet Empire written by Dmitriĭ Antonovich Volkogonov and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following his great trilogy of biographies of the giants who dominated the history of the Soviet Union - Stalin (1991), Lenin (1994) and Trotsky (1996) - Dmitri Volkogonov delves deeper into the Soviet archives to produce new character evaluations and political assessments of the seven leaders who ruled the Soviet Union from 1917 to 1991. A former general in the Soviet Army's propaganda department, Director of the Institute for Military History, and Defence Adviser to President Yeltsin from 1991 to his death from cancer in December 1995, Dmitri Volkogonov had unrivalled access to Soviet military archives, Communist Party documents and secret presidential files. Basing his new book on these inside sources, he has continued his pioneering work of revealing the truth behind the activities of the world's most secretive political leaders. He throws new light on: Lenin's paranoia about foreigners in Russia; his creation of a privileged system for top Party members; Stalin's repression of the nationalities and his singular conduct of foreign policy; the origins and conduct of the Korean War; Khrushchev's relationship with the odious secret service chief Beria; Brezhnev's vanity and stupidity; the Afghan War; Poland and Solidarity; Soviet bureaucracy; Gorbachev's Leninism and role in history.
