Gorbachev: Analysis Of Three Books About Gorbachev
The history of the Soviet Union is complicated and fascinating. In the course of only seventy years this country has seen the development of the totally new system of state, economic growth, the growth of hopes for the "brighter future", and then the sudden and expected by no one collapse of the whole system leading to chaos, wars, and confusion.

The main figure behind this process which began in 1985 is Mikhail S. Gorbachev who became General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Central Committee in March 1985. The three books that concentrate on the "Gorbachev phenomenon" were all unfortunately written before perestroika was finished, so they do not analyze the consequences that it had for the Soviet Union as well as for the whole world . On the other hand, all three of these books do a good job in explaining the changes that took place in the course of the first three years after Gorbachev came to power and why were these changes necessary. The first book "Gorbachev" was written by Zhores A. Medvedev in 1986 and hence the author is concentrating on the first year of the new course in Soviet history. The book itself basically consists of two parts: the first part where the author describes the "making of a General Secretary", and the second part entitled "Gorbachev in power" which describes Gorbachev's first year in the office. The first part of the book gives a lot of background information which allows the reader to see the stages in development of the Soviet leader from childhood and youth to second-in-command.
