ISBN10: 1586484974, ISBN13: 9781586484972, [publisher: PublicAffairs] Hardcover First Edition Signed First Edition, First Printing of one of the strangest and certainly most entertaining geopolitical events at the height of the Cold War in the late 1950s -- the 1959 visit to the United States by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev. Charismatic and spontaneous, bombastic and petulant, Khrushchev barnstorms both coasts and Middle America encountering movie stars, patriotic dentists, uber capitalists, Iowa farmers, mesmerized reporters and a distressed diplomatic corps while President Eisenhower frowns from the golf course. And denied entry to the site at the top of his wish list -- Disneyland -- K blows his top. Carlson captures every comic detail while deftly presenting the trip's place in the context of serious Cold War geopolitics. In this regard, Richard Nixon gets a thoroughly Nixonesque cameo as his testy and politically exploitive relations with Khruschchev set in motion a trip that a reluctant Eisenhower can't refuse. Signed and dated by Peter Carlson on the title page. 327 pages, illustrated.
