The Case for Khrushchev
By Leonard Schapiro
Khrushchev
by Roy Medvedev, translated by Brian Pearce
Anchor Press/Doubleday,, 292 pp., $17.95
Let History Judge was the title that Roy Medvedev gave to an admirable book on Stalin. He has now published a biography of Khrushchev, written, as was the previous book, in the Soviet Union. Medvedev seems to have considerable freedom to write in the USSR (though he has been warned by the KGB). But he cannot publish in the USSR such works as this one, which is based partly on talks with Khrushchev's family and other people who were close to him.
