By turns radical, uncertain, ambitious and autocratic, Mikhail
Gorbachev and his bid to reform the Soviet Union have shaped the
contemporary world. This concise and lively book provides an
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. Drawing on the latest memoirs
and scholarship, this book follows Gorbachev's increasingly
desperate attempts to control the forces he unleashed and hold
together a state whose days were over.
