3. William Taubman, Khrushchev: The Man and His Era . Winner of a Pulitzer, this remains one of the essential takes on mid-20th century Soviet history and is highly readable as well.
That is the new biography by William Taubmann , who won a Pulitzer for his Khruschev book . At first I didn’t want to read it, feeling I was already too familiar with the topic, but it was a fascinating treatment throughout, with many revelations. It is perhaps the best overall treatment of how the Soviet Union collapsed, and the parts on Gorbachev’s early career provide a superior look at how Soviet bureaucracy and the Communist Party actually functioned.
