Description: The War That Never Was: The Fall Of The Soviet Empire 1985-1991 (HB, 1995) Title: The War That Never Was Sub Title: The Fall Of The Soviet Empire 1985-1991 Genre: Government, Politics and Political Science, History ISBN: 9780297813200 Format: Hardback Author: David Pryce-Jones Publisher: Weidenfeld & Nicolson Publication Date: 1995 Language: English Number of Pages / Size (cm): 456, 24.3 x 16.5 x 3.4 Weight (gm): 1,100 ---------- Book Condition / Grade: Like New Dust-jacket Condition / Grade: Like New ---------- Synopsis: This is an account of the end of the Soviet empire. The coup of August 1991 brought an end not only to Gorbachev's political career, but to the entire Soviet Union: communism imploded, the Berlin Wall had been dismantled, Germany reunified, and several European states regained their independence. This reordering of the world, unimaginable to most people in the West, occurred remarkably peacefully. David Pryce-Jones travelled throughout the former empire to ask the major political personalities for their opinions and reactions as to why this happened. He asked why Gorbachev and the leadership didn't resort to armed violence in classic Soviet style; how much was accidental, how much planned; and how much will never be known about the workings of the impenetrable structure which held together the Soviet bloc. Party leaders, decision-makers and first secretaries of the Soviet republics and satellites each give their version of events, often speaking frankly about Gorbachev, his motivations and actions.
