From Library Journal:
Perestroika (restructuring) presents Gorbachev's aspirations and major policies. "Democratization" of management and society is a central if undefined goal. The author admits past stagnation in domestic, and mistakes in foreign, policy. Instead of attaining communism by the end of the century, he aspires for the U.S.S.R. to reach the "world level" of science and technologyappealing to Westerners. But Perestroika reflects the limitations of present policy concerning "unanimity" among top leaders, agricultural reform, and Afghanistan. Despite its shortcomings, the book offers a valuable statement about Soviet policy. Recommended for academic and larger public libraries.Zachary T.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Good. Lorsque ce livre parat en décembre 1987, l'événement est retentissant. Pour la premire fois, le plus haut personnage de l'État soviétique, Mikhal Gorbatchev, dénonce ouvertement les travers du systme. En proposant des changements radicaux l'intérieur comme l'extérieur, Gorbatchev annonce au monde, soixante-dix ans aprs Octobre, qu'une autre révolution est en marche.Trente ans plus tard, qu'en reste-t-il ? la lumire de la chute du bloc soviétique, on est tenté de lire en Perestroka l'annonce de la dislocation venir. Mais méfions-nous de l'illusion rétrospective : Gorbatchev entend bien sauver le systme et non le renverser, et de nombreux contemporains ont relevé que son programme n'était en fait que bien peu révolutionnaire.Livre-choc devenu document d'histoire, Perestroka demeure la pice-clé d'un suspens politique l'échelle mondiale, et le symbole d'un des temps forts de la mémoire contemporaine.
