Critics Review
One of the more fascinating stories of our time
One of the more fascinating stories of our time * Guardian *
A remarkable leader’s own account of his rise and fall…Engrossing…Great history as seen through the unrelenting scrutiny of a very great man * Daily Telegraph *
[Gorbachev’s] 600 pages of memoirs is a wonder on its own, his own story recited in a manner worthy of the theme…He has told the whole truth * Michael Foot, Evening Standard *
These memoirs are the story of a man remarkable for much more than a blessedly pacific turn of mind…They show someone grappling continually and apparently sincerely with vast issues at home and abroad * Observer *
