Testimony of an Opponent

Boris Yeltsin is without doubt the most authoritative and controversial opponent of Soviet President Gorbachev. In his testimony of an opponent, Boris Yeltsin gives his frank and candid vision of the developments and the future of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. His evaluation of the historical times in the Eastern Bloc, in which Gorbachev played a central role with the glasnost and perestroika he initiated, will give rise to heated discussions. In addition to a political programme, testimony of an opponent is also a personal account. His career in Sverdlovsk, his fight against corruption as party leader of Moscow and his growing differences of opinion with Gorbachev make for fascinating reading. His vision will prove to be a milestone in the current truly revolutionary developments in Eastern Europe.
