"Nikita Khrushchev was one of the most important political leaders of the twentieth century. Without his memoirs, neither the rise and fall of the Soviet Union nor the history of the Cold War can be fully understood. . . . The fact that the full text of Khrushchev's memoirs will now be available in English is cause for rejoicing." -William Taubman, author of Khrushchev: The Man and His Era
