VERY GOOD CONDITION IN VERY GOOD UNCLIPT(BOOK CLUB EDITION) DUST JACKET; Blue & gold spine & cover titles on dark grey cloth hardcovers.. ; 311pg pages; Russian History.. His book tells the story of a self-made man who rose from peasant origins to become master of two hundred million Russians and a determining force in world affairs. How Khrushchev rode on Stalin's coattails for many years, praising his works, and then destroyed Stalin's image in his famous \"secret speech\" of 1956, is one of the many aspects of Nikita Khruschev that the author explains. The principal drama of the book is that of a ruthless clique, concerned less with ideology than with power and place in the rising, newly industrialized Russia. .
