Description: Assuming this is authentic, and the author does take time to address reasons why it is, this is a fantastic book. It gives a very up front and personal look into the inner workings of one of the biggest experiments in human history. I had always remembered Krushchev as a big brutish thug threatening to "Bury" us, and also being Kennedy's adversary in the Cuban Missile Crisis. In this book however, far from being brutish Krushchev's voice is human, easily accessible, surprisingly witty and full of many personal anecdotes. Now of course, this must be taken with a grain of salt. By his account, good old Comrade Krushchev never participated in any purge and was completely oblivious to the suffering in the Ukraine (even while he was running it). And of course he was a big hero in the great Patriotic War. But even with all of its embellishments and factual omissions, this is a thoroughly entertaining read..You do come away with a sense of the personality of the man.
