Blue cloth boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine; Gorbachev signature in gilt on front board. Gold endpapers. 254 pp 8vo. Perestroika, which means restructuring, is Gorbachev's own account of the revolution he is presently implementing in the USSR. Seventy years after the October Revolution, it constitutes real changes in attitudes, in ideas, and in practice that entail a radical alteration of both domestic and foreign policy. It is the next stage in socialist history, when greater responsibility is delegated to the people, and initiative, openness and a spirit of emulation are strongly encouraged through a real sense of personal involvement. A clean very presentable copy.
