Volume 1: Commissar, 1918-1945

Khrushchev recounts how he became politically active as a young worker in Ukraine, how he climbed the ladder of power under Stalin to occupy leading positions in Ukraine and Moscow, and how as a military commissar he experienced the war against the Nazi invaders. His sincere reflections add to the value of this personal and historical document.
