Product Description:
A Washington Post correspondent provides a firsthand account of the collapse of the Soviet Union, describing such events as the fall of the Berlin Wall, the massacre at Tiananmen Square, and the role of Boris Yeltsin in the 1991 coup attempt. Reprint. 12,500 first printing.
Review:
Ever wonder what it would be like to witness a series of historical turning points? Just ask Michael Dobbs--or read his book. As a longtime foreign correspondent for the Washington Post, Dobbs personally witnessed many of the great events in the final decade of the Iron Curtain, from the 1980 Warsaw strikes to Boris Yeltsin's defiance of the 1991 Communist coup. Mikhail Gorbachev is a dominant figure on these pages, but his role in the Cold War endgame is enigmatic. Dobbs calls him "a strange amalgam of genius and incompetence, idealism and egotism, naive and cunning." The verdict on Dobbs is much clearer: his journalism will instruct future historians.
