Memoirs Of Nikita Khrushchev

Attribution
edited by Sergei Khrushchev ; memoirs translated by George Shriver ; supplementary material translated by Stephen Shenfield
Publication Details
Book, Pennsylvania State University, 2004

- Table of contents
Description
Nikita Khrushchev?s proclamation from the floor of the United Nations that “we will bury you” is one of the most chilling and memorable moments in the history of the Cold War, but from the Cuban Missile Crisis to his criticism of the Soviet ruling structure late in his career the motivation for Khrushchev?s actions wasn?t always clear. Readers of Khrushchev?s memoirs will now be able to answer these questions for themselves (and will discover that what Khrushchev really said at the UN was “we will bury colonialism”).

Nikita Khrushchev And The Creation Of A Superpower

Attribution
Sergei N. Khrushchev ; translated by Shirley Benson ; foreword by William Taubman ; annotations by William C. Wohlforth
Publication Details
Book, Pennsylvania State University Press, 2000
Description
Wohlforth A unique account of Cold War history during the Khrushchev era by one who witnessed it firsthand at his father’s side. As Sergei says, “During the Cold War our nations lived on opposite sides of the Iron Curtain, and not only was it an Iron Curtain but it was also a mirror: one side perceived the other as the ‘evil empire,? In this book Sergei tells the story of how the Cold War happened in reality from the Russian side, not from the American side, and this is his most important contribution.
