The consequences of that momentous decision, which set in motion a transformation eventually affecting the entire postwar world order, are here chronicled from inside a previously forbidden Soviet city, Magnitogorsk. Built under Stalin and championed by him as a showcase of socialism, the city remained closed to Western scrutiny until four years ago, when Stephen Kotkin became the first American to live there in nearly half a century.An uncommonly perceptive observer, a gifted writer, and a first-rate social scientist, Kotkin offers the reader an unsurpassed portrait of daily life in the Gorbachev era. From the formation of "informal" political groups to the start-up of fledgling businesses in the new cooperative sector, from the no-holds-barred investigative reporting of a former Communist party mouthpiece to a freewheeling multicandidate election campaign, the author conveys the texture of contemporary Soviet society in the throes of an upheaval not seen since the 1930s.Magnitogorsk, a planned "garden city" in the Ural Mountains, serves as Kotkin's laboratory for observing the revolutionary changes occurring in the Soviet Union today. Dominated by a self-perpetuating Communist party machine, choked by industrial pollution, and haunted by a suppressed past, this once-proud city now faces an uncertain future, as do the more than one thousand other industrial cities throughout the Soviet Union.Kotkin made his remarkable first visit in 1987 and returned in 1989. On both occasions, steelworkers and schoolteachers, bus drivers and housewives, intellectuals and former victims of oppression-all willingly stepped forward to voice long-suppressed grievances and aspirations. Their words animate this moving narrative, the first to examine the impact and contradictions of perestroika in a single community. Like no other Soviet city, Magnitogorsk provides a window onto the desperate struggle to overcome the heavy burden of Stalin's legacy. 606 $aPerestroi?ka$zRussia (Federation)$zMagnitogorsk 607 $aSoviet Union$xPolitics and government$y1985-1991 607 $aMagnitogorsk (Russia)$xPolitics and government 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPerestroi?ka 676 $a947.87 676 $a947/.87 700 $aKotkin$b Stephen$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0301208 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456131003321 996 $aSteeltown, USSR$92472740 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03640nam 2200817 450 001 9910796028603321 005 20230721043756.0 010 $a0-8147-9745-8 024 7 $a10.18574/nyu/9780814797457 035 $a(CKB)3790000000016427 035 $a(EBL)866136 035 $a(OCoLC)913796841 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000267479 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11204823 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000267479 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10334234 035 $a(PQKB)10234353 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC866136 035 $a(DE-B1597)547171 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780814797457 035 $a(EXLCZ)993790000000016427 100 $a20190111d2008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aVietnam's forgotten army $eheroism and betrayal in the ARVN /$fAndrew Wiest 210 1$aNew York ;$aLondon :$cNew York University Press,$d[2008] 210 4$dİ2008 215 $a1 online resource (368 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-8147-9467-X 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $a""Cover Page""; ""Title Page""; ""Copyright Page""; ""Dedication""; ""Contents""; ""Acknowledgments""; ""Foreword by James Webb""; ""Preface""; ""Introduction: Welcome to Vietnam""; ""1 Coming of Age in a Time of War""; ""2 A War Transformed: Battle, Politics, and the Americanization of the War, 1963a???1966""; ""3 Fighting Two Wars: Years of Attrition and Pacification, 1966a???1967""; ""4 A Time for Heroes: The Tet Offensive""; ""5 After Tet: The Year of Hope""; ""6 Hamburger Hill: The Untold Story of the Battle for Dong Ap Bia""; ""7 A War Transformed: Vietnamization, 1969a???1970"" 327 $a""8 Shattered Lives and Broken Dreams: Operation Lam Son 719""""9 The Making of a Traitor""; ""10 Journeys Home: Life in the Wake of a Lost War""; ""Conclusion""; ""Notes""; ""Bibliography""; ""Index""; ""About the Author"" 330 $a2009 Society for Military History Distinguished Book Award for Biography Vietnam's Forgotten Army: Heroism and Betrayal in the ARVN chronicles the lives of Pham Van Dinh and Tran Ngoc Hue, two of the brightest young stars in the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN).
