Surviving Stalin was a major achievement.  Surviving him AND succeeding him was a feat limited to very few indeed. 

An examination of Nikita Khrushchev's story should not be restricted to one author - even Khrushchev himself - but his son Sergei's Nikita Khrushchev and the Creation of a Superpower is both scholarly and important for its personal details.

I recommend Shirley Benson's translation with annotations by William C. Wohlforth.  Nancy
