Eduard Shevardnadze (1928–2014)

An interesting read, especially the first parts of the book. A special insight into the end of the Cold War, and the author's role in it. My lasting memory of the book is that the Soviets/Russians see the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima as the start of the Cold War.

2437 The Future Belongs To Freedom, by Eduard Shevardnadze translated by Catherine A. Fitzpatrick (read 9 Feb 1992) The author finished writing this book on Aug 24, 1991. He is one of the great men of these days, and one to whom much is owed. He never in this book explicitly rejects Communism, but all he does say makes excellent sense. I remember when he became Soviet Foreign Minister on July 2,1985, I had never heard of him. I think his role till he resigned Dec 20, 1990, was one solely for show more the good. The book is good, though turgid and not well-organized. show less
