Overview
An exciting fictional account of the changing attitudes and beliefs of the former leader of the Soviet Union in a time of great crisis.Editorials
Library Journal
In 1992, Gorbachev contemplates a public renunciation of Marxism and admission of faith in Christianity. The diary in which he writes these thoughts is promptly stolen by the KBG, who put in train an improbable plot to have him assassinated. Fact, fiction, and political analysis are thoroughly interwoven, but it's all just a peg on which to hang a series of interior monologs on the failure of Communism. Afraid his fiction will be taken too seriously, the author provides endnotes which distinguish the imaginary from historical fact. The conjunction is unsuccessful, and this book is of little interest either as fiction or politics.-- Edwin B. Burgess, U.S. Army TRALINET Ctr., Ft. Monroe, Va.Book Details
