" A chronicle of the year that changed Soviet Russia—and molded the future path of one of America's pre-eminent diplomatic correspondents 1956 was an extraordinary year in modern Russian history. It was called “the year of the thaw”—a time when Stalin’s dark legacy of dictatorship died in February only to be reborn later that December. This historic arc from rising hope to crushing despair opened with a speech by Nikita Khrushchev, then the unpredictable leader of the Soviet Union. He astounded everyone by denouncing the one figure who, up to that time, had been hailed as a “genius,” a wizard of communism—Josef Stalin himself. Now, suddenly, this once unassailable god was being portrayed as a “madman” whose idiosyncratic rule had seriously undermined communism and endangered the Soviet state. This amazing switch from hero to villain lifted a heavy overcoat of fear from the backs of ordinary Russians. It also quickly led to anti-communist uprisings in Eastern Europe, none more bloody and challenging than the one in Hungary, which Soviet troops crushed at year’s end. Marvin Kalb, then a young diplomatic attaché at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, observed this tumultuous year that foretold the end of Soviet communism three decades later. Fluent in Russian, a doctoral candidate at Harvard, he went where few other foreigners would dare go, listening to Russian students secretly attack communism and threaten rebellion against the Soviet system, traveling from one end of a changing country to the other and, thanks to his diplomatic position, meeting and talking with Khrushchev, who playfully nicknamed him Peter the Great. In this, his fifteenth book, Kalb writes a fascinating eyewitness account of a superpower in upheaval and of a people yearning for an end to dictatorship. "

In October 1961, Khrushchev ordered the removal of Stalin's body from the Red Square Mausoleum and hopes for a new freedom, justice and independence were aroused throughout the Soviet Union and its satellite states. Seven years later, these hopes were crushed when the Soviet Army invaded Czechoslovakia. Anatole Shub, an eminent American journalist, discusses how and why this happened. He recounts at first hand such dramatic incidents as Khrushchev's courtship of Tito, the trial of the Bulgarian United Nations delegate as a C.I.A. agent; Chou En-lai's weird visit to Rumania; the confrontation between Brezhnev and Dubcek at a railway men's club in Cierna-nad-Tisou; and the trials of young Russian democrats who bravely demonstrated against the Red Army invasion of Czechoslovakia.Combining eyewitness observation with expert research, Mr. Shub explains why Khrushchev encouraged, and his successors persecuted, such writers as Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Andrei Voznesensky; why Rumanian Communists behave like Rumanians; why East Germany needs the wall; why Yugoslavia has gone its own way towards an open society while once-liberal Poland has been driven to harass Catholic bishops and Jewish intellectuals alike -- from the publisher.
