Perestroika New Thinking for Our Country and the World
by Mikhail Gorbachev
Description:
A serious crisis in the environment assumed the proportions of a global menace. This was pinpointed by the U.N. Commission’s report, Our Common Future. The global challenge involved in this crisis was aggravated by the economic crisis of monetarism and debt. Gorbachev addressed the same themes in a powerful message to the U.N. The power of separate nation states was no longer sufficient to meet the world-wide threat.
About The Author
Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev is a Russian politician. He was the last General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the last head of state of the USSR, serving from 1985 until its collapse in 1991.
Gorbachev’s attempts at reform perestroika and glasnost as well as summit conferences with United States President Ronald Reagan, contributed to the end of the Cold War, and also ended the political supremacy of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) and led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990. Gorbachev is currently the leader of the Union of Social-Democrats, a political party founded after the official dissolution of the Social Democratic Party of Russia on 20 October 2007.
Skryf Review
Good Book
Historically, this is a very important book, at least for anyone who wants to understand about a significant stage in the Cold War. And, anyone who doesn’t think the Cold War was not a great threat to the lives of all, doesn’t understand the Cold War.
