Book Review
The Views of the Man Who Ended the Cold WarGail Sheehy. The Man Who Changed the World- The Lives of Mikhail S. Gorbachev. Mikhail Gorbachev. Perestroika- New Thinking for Our Country and the World.The two books that I am critiquing are about Mikhail Gorbachev and his political policies. The first book is called The Man Who Changed the World- The lives of Mikhail S. Gorbachev by Gail Sheehy. The second is Perestroika- New Thinking for Our Country and the World by Mikhail Gorbachev. Gail Sheehy's book is a biography of Gorbachev from birth until present times, and it really helps in understanding the second book, Perestroika, which is about Gorbachev's political policies that turned the Soviet Union upside down. These books complement each other very well. The Man Who Changed the World is a well-covered look at Gorbachev's life- his roots, his early life, and how he rose into power.

Other than a few facts, she has been completely closed mouthed about her past. I enjoyed the biography of Gorbachev very much. The book is mercifully devoid of facts, figures, and minute details. Perestroika is a concept that has been relatively well covered in history and by the media, but Perestroika from Mikhail Gorbachev's point of view is truly enlightening. Raisa was a philosophy student and considered and exceptional beauty. Gorbachev also explains why his country has been increasingly aggressive in its quest for disarmament in recent years. This, however, has never been confirmed. The Soviet Union really needs a stable international environment, free of the immediate threat of war, to focus on their internal development and change. The Man Who Changed the World- The Lives of Mikhail S. It is mainly a book about the new Soviet foreign policy and political philosophy. The views and philosophies that Gorbachev expresses in this book are his views, and are based on his values and theories. The book is quite in-depth and very well organized, but it was one of those that is hard to read. Her use of personal sources that were very close to Gorbachev makes this a very believable story. where a meal with more than one course was practically unheard of, because there just was no food available.
