Description
The main architect of the concept of perestroika under Gorbachev, Alexander N. Yakovlev played a unique role in the transformation of the Soviet Union. Now, drawing on his own experiences and on his privileged access to state and Party archives, he reflects on the evils of the system that shaped the country he loves.
"A searing book."--Bill Keller, New York Times

"Among the best 250 pages you will ever read on Stalin."--Simon Sebag Montefiore, Sunday Times
"A fierce, raging indictment of the Soviet system."--Virginia Quarterly Review
