The Gorbachev Prospect
By George F. Kennan
Perestroika: New Thinking for Our Country and the World
by Mikhail Gorbachev
Harper and Row, 254 pp., $19.95
More than a month after the first advance publicity by the publishers, and half a month after the appearance of the Russian edition in Moscow, the English edition of Mr. Gorbachev's book has finally appeared in American bookshops and become available to the American reviewer. It is, as such books go, a handsome one, with an equally handsome photograph of Mikhail Sergeyevich's face on the back cover, with nothing to show, to be sure, that the book is a translation; or who was the translator, but for the most part it is not badly translated.
