戈巴契夫冷戰回憶錄：蜕變中的世界，從舊冷戰到新世紀的危機
－中文版全球首發－
戈巴契夫冷戰回憶錄中文版
關於冷戰，我們聽西方敘述太久了。
現在這個時代，
我們該聽聽另一個方向，關於冷戰的另一種詮釋。
◎舊蘇聯終結者、冷戰中終結者、又或是，新世代的開創者？
米哈伊爾•謝爾蓋耶維奇•戈巴契夫（Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev）──眾所皆知，如果不是他的決斷，冷戰不會在一九九一年劃下句點。而若是如此，舊蘇聯勢力或者將可以留存得更久，我們所熟悉的俄羅斯，或許會是更具威攝力、更有力、仍足以與美國分庭抗禮的另一強權？
然而，是什麼讓這一個強國的國家領導者下定決心，徹底中止象徵二戰結束後勢力分布的大國對立狀態？又是什麼原因，讓他願意支持兩德統一、讓舊蘇聯與新世界接軌？歷來對戈巴契夫的改革開放多有爭議，但在那樣的時代、站在蘇聯政局高點，主導整個舊蘇聯動向的他，又是基於什麼樣的想法與西方國家和談、甚至合作，並重新修好中蘇關係，讓世界往前邁步？
◎西方歷史上的重大變局──缺席三十年的完整角度
事實上，除了舊蘇聯的改革開放，與冷戰結束外，二戰以來歐洲的重大變局，幾乎都與戈巴契夫有關。
不管是決策由東德撤軍，推動兩德統一；或是參與放棄以武力干涉東歐諸國內政、促進大多數的政權和平轉移；又或是在蘇聯內部進行選舉、擔任唯一一任蘇聯總統；以及修好中蘇關係、與鄧小平及趙紫陽會面；以及議定歐盟雛形，裁減武力的各項協定。
上述現代國際關係的形成，可說皆與戈巴契夫卅年前的諸多決策有關。但戈巴契夫視角的詮釋論述，卻在主流世界缺席卅年。
◎戈巴契夫親自執筆，中文版全球首發！
本書由戈巴契夫本人親自執筆，回憶結束冷戰的動機、過程，遭遇的困厄，諸多考量，以及他對當代政治人物的看法。
透過本書，我們不再需要透過下一個世代的筆觸或詮釋，而是可以透過當事人的視線與角度，重新檢視冷戰下的事件與政治人物的權謀與決策。從老羅斯福、雷根、老布希到小布希等美國總統，到柴契爾夫人、梅傑等英國首相，何內克、魏查克、柯爾等兩德總理，以及葉爾辛、普丁等蘇聯／俄羅斯領袖（或政敵）皆在內。透過本書，我們將接觸到的，不會只是後人的評論或對資料的判讀。而是從歷史中走出的見證，帶給我們未來的線索，或許也是現今世界所需要的解答。

I never disliked or loathed this man. I've always admired his bravery and never said anything negative about him, but this book may change my opinion of him.
A Persian version with the title "دنیایی رو به دگرگونی" is accessible on Taagche; it is translated directly from Russian and I've loved it so far.

After finishing the book, I had the impression that I had been listening to the whining and pleas of an elderly woman who had confused vodka for tea. The book isn't as unique as I had anticipated. He seems to be grumbling about something all the time, and I never expected a man this democratic to be so communist! He appears to be making an effort to hide his guilt and present a partial truth. It wasn't good or horrible, just average. The passages about Boris Yeltsin were the book's only redeeming features. It is filled with names that, as I've already mentioned, call for some familiarity with the USSR, Europe, or even the US. Anyway, it wasn't all bad; it also helped to enlighten me a little.
