<p>This book sets out, in a concise form, the ideas and ideals, the spirit and vision that guided Mikhail Gorbachev in his world-changing agenda. This wealth of wisdom is an invaluable resource for overcoming the huge social and environmental challenges that humanity faces today. The book’s editor, Michael S. Karlen, has selected text passages from books, speeches, letters and interviews, some never before available in English. They shed light on a number of current topics such as the new political thinking, leadership and responsibility, US-Russia relations, climate change and more. Commentaries from contemporaries and historians related to Gorbachev and his work are added to give additional historical context and understanding of the Soviet leader’s impact. The book is richly illustrated with historic photographs that offer further glimpses into the personality of this fascinating world figure. A further dimension is added with a selection of writings by Russian writers and poets that had a big influence on the life of the former Soviet President. The book even offers glimpses into the personal life of Mikhail Gorbachev, his exceptional relationship with his beloved wife Raisa and his encounters with different religious and spiritual traditions.</p>
