Shows Khrushchev's movement within the Communist Party in the Ukraine, through the Stalin era, his ascension to Party Secretary, his rise to full leadership, his final collapse and removal. Shows how he provided the crucial link between the closed world of Stalinist Russia and the realities of contemporary international considerations.
