Description: Perestroika New Thinking for Our Country and the World by Mikhail Gorbachev. Perestroika, which means restructuring, is Mikhail Gorbachev's own account of the revolution he is presently implementing in the U.S.S.R. Seventy years after the Octover Revolution, it constitutes real changes in attitudes, in ideas and in practice that entail a radical alteration of both domestic and foreign policy. Perestroika is the next stage in socialish history, wen greater responsibility is delegated to the people, and initiative,openness and a spirit of emulation are strongly encouraged through a real sense of personal involvement. It is an unprecedented blueprint for change that can only have profound implications for the world.Frank in his criticism of the past, trenchant in his recommendations for the present, the General Secretary is unswerving in his conviction that the needs of the world are inseparable from those of his country. For, in the search for a "nuclear-free, non-violent world," restructuring must be a global affair, and involve furthering the cause of understanding and tolerance. "The state and peoples of the earth are very different, and it is good that they are so." Eloquently, forcefully, passionately, Mikhail Gorbachev shows the reader the world as he sees it. He sheds new light on the problems of arms reduction and international affairs, and gives a fascinating inside view of Geneva and Reykjavik. This book is a historic document of major proportions. A world leader, in office, has addressed the citizens of the entire world. In a day of mass media, Gorbachev has written the world a long letter."It is not easy to change the approaches on which East-West relations have been built for fifty years. But the new is knocking at every door and window." This book is USED.So there may be some imperfections.Thanks for looking.
