Contents/Summary

Summary

"From Mikhail S. Gorbachev's accession to power in 1985, through perestroika, glasnost, and the rise of Boris Yeltsin, to the emergence of the fifteen independent republics in 1991 and 1992, The decline and fall of the Soviet empire is an on-the-spot account of many of the most important events of the late twentieth century. Here, in the words of some of the most respected journalists of our day -- Francis X. Cline, Bill Keller, Craig R. Whitney, Henry Kamm, and Pulitzer Prize winners Serge Schmemann and R. W. Apple, Jr., to name but a few -- is the story of Mikhail Gorbachev"s desperate, and ultimately futile, attempts to save communism from itself." -- cover
