Title: I can't believe I've read a 700p book about Krushchev...
Product review: ...and praising it to the skies! And I don't usually read political biographies, but Krushchev was the Big Bad Guy of my generation, a peasant with a big mole and a fourth grade education (!! - did I ever know that before? If so, I'd forgotten!) who pushed his face up against America's image and banged his shoe on the table at the UN. Talk about a 'character!' So I dove into the book with what I hope was an open mind. Yeah, it's really long, and yeah, there were a few places where I skimmed, but mostly I devoured it with wide eyes.Taubman manages to put a human face on a poorly-understood, highly-complex figure of Russian-American history.
