The Ghost of the Executed Engineer Technology and the Fall of the Soviet Union
Loren Graham
Stalin ordered his execution, but here Peter Palchinsky has the last word. Palchinsky tells of Soviet technology and industry, the mistakes he condemned in his lifetime, the corruption and collapse he predicted, the ultimate price paid for silencing those who were not afraid to speak out. The story of this visionary engineers life and work, as Graham tells it, is also the story of the Soviet Unions industrial promise and failure.
