Publisher's Notes
First Line: "More than eighty years have passed since the event which in our country, until recently, was generally called the Great October Socialist Revolution."
Industry Reviews "In general, this is a wide-ranging and interesting book, although Gorbachev's greatness remains as a politician rather than as an author." Brown
"In his own reassessment, Gorbachev underscores the task of rescuing the ideals of the Revolution from a Communist system that was 'not socialist but totalitarian.'" Nation - Robert V. Daniels (01/03/2000)
