On Perestroika, the Prague Spring and the Crossroads of Socialism
This title invites us to eavesdrop on an intimate conversation between one of the major political figures of the 20th century and his closest friend as they chat about the momentous events they lived through and helped orchestrate.Mikhail Gorbachev and Zdenek Mlynar were friends for half a century after they first crossed paths as students in 1950. In 1993 they decided their conversations might be of interest to others and so began to tape-record them. From reminiscences of their starry-eyed university days to reflections on the use of force to "save socialism" to contemplation of the end of the Cold War, this is a candid picture of Gorbachev. |
