Nikita Khrushchev follows the Soviet politician from his rise under Stalin to leadership after the dictator’s death. It examines his role in party administration, wartime government and the power struggle that allowed him to become the dominant figure of the 1950s.
The biography covers de-Stalinisation, the Secret Speech, agricultural and industrial experiments and the suppression of revolt in Hungary. It also follows the space race, Berlin and the Cuban Missile Crisis before explaining the policy failures and elite opposition that led to his removal in 1964.
