Khrushchev was responsible for the partial de-Stalinization of the Soviet Union, for backing the progress of the early Soviet space program, and for several relatively liberal reforms in areas of domestic policy. Despite many successes Khrushchev was unceremoniously removed from power. This book discusses Vaughn Shoemakers, Pulitzer prize winning cartoonist, cartoon depictions of Khrushchev and the view the American people had of this ruler of the Soviet Union. | |||
