A solid and good biography
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I bought a copy of this book for a nephew and niece. I read through it and realized that there was a lot about Mr. Gorbachev that I hadn't known about, especially his early career and disappointments. While this book is in no way meant to analyze the man and his work, it is a great survey of his life from his years as a young man to his rise in power in the Soviet government. I do hope that this biography will be reissued with a new section on Mr. Gorbachev's eventual participation in the end of the Soviet Union and his subsequent retirement. This is a perfect biography for young people. Even older folks will learn the basics concerning this giant of a man.
