From Library Journal
These memoirs give us a glimpse of a figure who has until now seemed little more than a rather cardboard, archetypal Soviet politician. Gromyko, who died in July 1989, tells of his early years in a small Russian village; his experience in the traumatic Russian Civil War; and his steady rise to the top (foreign minister for over half a century) of the Soviet political hierarchy. He also renders portraits of the century's most fascinating personalities, ranging from Richard Nixon to Charlie Chaplin. His personal views of Stalin, presented in a separate chapter, shed no new light on the dictator, but are significant given their source--a Soviet statesman who devoted his public life to the state Stalin created. This book will interest students of U.S.-Soviet relations and political leadership in the Soviet Union.
