Russia Under Khrushchev (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781166135904)

Russia Under Khrushchev is a comprehensive historical account of the Soviet Union during the leadership of Nikita Khrushchev, written by Alexander Werth. The book explores the political, social, and economic changes that took place in the country during Khrushchev's reign, from 1953 to 1964. Werth examines Khrushchev's attempts to modernize the Soviet economy, improve living standards, and reduce the power of the Communist Party bureaucracy. He also delves into Khrushchev's foreign policy, including his famous ""thaw"" in relations with the West and his handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Throughout the book, Werth draws on a wealth of primary sources, including interviews with Khrushchev himself, to provide a nuanced and detailed portrait of this complex period in Soviet history. Russia Under Khrushchev is an essential read for anyone interested in the Soviet Union, the Cold War, or the history of communism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
