A distinguished historian, Harvard professor, and White House
adviser looks back on his own life and on the tumultuous twentieth
century Sixteen-year-old Richard Pipes escaped from Nazi-occupied
Warsaw with his family in October 1939. Their flight took them to
the United States by way of Italy, and Pipes went on to earn a
college degree, join the U.S. Air Corps, serve as professor of
Russian history at Harvard for nearly forty years, and become
adviser to President Reagan on Soviet and Eastern European affairs.
In this engrossing book, the eminent historian remembers the events
of his own remarkable life as well as the unfolding of some of the
twentieth century's most extraordinary political events. From his
youthful memories of bombs falling on Warsaw to his recollections
of the conflicts inside the Reagan administration over American
policies toward the USSR, Pipes offers penetrating observations as
well as fascinating portraits of such cultural and political
figures as Isaiah Berlin, Ronald Reagan, and Alexander Haig.
Perhaps most interesting of all, Pipes depicts his evolution as a
historian and his understanding of how history is witnessed and how
it is recorded.
