This week, in the first of two installments, TIME presents excerpts from Khrushchev Remembers: The Last Testament, a second volume of memoirs that will be published in June by Little, Brown & Co. Like its predecessor, Khrushchev Remembers, the new book is based on tapes dictated by the late Soviet leader during the years before his death in 1971 and is a historical document of enormous value. The tapes were translated and edited by Strobe Talbott, who has served as TIME correspondent in Eastern Europe. In the introduction to The Last Testament, Diplomatic Editor and former Moscow Bureau Chief Jerrold...
Former Soviet Leader Nikita Khrushchev, who died in 1971 at the age of 77, once warned a Kremlin colleague that he might some day rise from the grave and tell his tale, despite the silence imposed on him by the men who had forced him into retirement. This week TIME presents the first of two sets of excerpts from a forthcoming volume of memoirs in which Khrushchev makes good on his prophecy. He emerges as a candid, pungent and uniquely qualified commentator on recent Soviet history...

TIME's new excerpts, from a sequel called Khrushchev Remembers: The Last Testament, a Little, Brown book that will go on sale in June, are also taken from tape recordings made by Khrushchev...

The first volume, Khrushchev Remembers, was published in 1970. The second, based on tapes that were dictated for the most part between the time the first volume appeared and Khrushchev's death in 1971, will be called Khrushchev Remembers: The Last Testament.
