The definitive biography of the mercurial Soviet leader who
succeeded and denounced Stalin. Nikita Khrushchev was one of the
most complex and important political figures of the twentieth
century. Ruler of the Soviet Union during the first decade after
Stalin's death, Khrushchev left a contradictory stamp on his
country and on the world. His life and career mirror the Soviet
experience: revolution, civil war, famine, collectivization,
industrialization, terror, world war, cold war, Stalinism,
post-Stalinism. Complicit in terrible Stalinist crimes, Khrushchev
nevertheless retained his humanity: his daring attempt to reform
communism prepared the ground for its eventual collapse; and his
awkward efforts to ease the cold war triggered its most dangerous
crises. This is the first comprehensive biography of Khrushchev and
the first of any Soviet leader to reflect the full range of sources
that have become available since the USSR collapsed. Combining a
page-turning historical narrative with penetrating political and
psychological analysis, this book brims with the life and
excitement of a man whose story personified his era.
