Description

In this candid political memoir and personal reflection, the final leader of the Soviet Union examines the forces that reshaped his country and the wider world at the end of the twentieth century. Drawing on his experiences with perestroika, glasnost, the Cold War, and changing relations with the West, he explores the challenges of reforming a rigid political system while confronting economic, social, and national tensions. The book offers an insider’s perspective on leadership, diplomacy, democratic change, and the search for a more cooperative international order.
