János Zolcer: Gorbachev's Secrets

The author about the book and the story behind:

“Gorbachev and I moved in with President Bush for two weeks, and we talked from morning till night!
I had planned this back in 2000, to realize it a year later.
Besides Bush, we also visited German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, Israeli President Simon Peres, met Pope John Paul II, Yasser Arafat, Fidel Castro, Lech Walesa... My plan succeeded: I brought together Mikhail Gorbachev, the former president of the Soviet Union, who initiated global changes in the 1980s, for numerous days with the leading international politicians of the time.
No journalist has ever pulled off a similar production!
The main theme everywhere was the same: why and how did the politicians change the world - peacefully, in a positive direction? Who were these people who embarked on such a historic journey?
My answers can be found in my book "GORBACHEV's SECRETS": 450 pages, with 500 photos, 280 virtual footnotes, and 130 QR codes linking to videos.
I maintained a friendly relationship with Gorbachev for 23 years, until his death: I visited his hometown, school, early rental apartment, early workplaces, the Kremlin; I was a guest at his dacha several times; I traveled half the world with him...
Gorbachev wrote a recommendation and a foreword for the book. The book has been published in English, German, Czech, Slovak, and Hungarian. Swedish, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, and Hindi translations are in progress...

In the past decades, I personally got to know some of the major figures in world politics. I spent weeks in the company of George Bush, Helmut Kohl, Simon Peres, and Hans-Dietrich Genscher at their homes. I had a 22-year friendship with Mikhail Gorbachev, who revealed the secrets of the Soviet Union to me, showed me how the Kremlin operates, and shared his imperial mindset. So, I didn't learn about recent events from books, but from the politicians who shaped them. Some of them even referred to me as their friend. I still maintain my relationship with Moscow to this day.

In September, book presentations will be held in 15 cities in the United States, in Hungarian and English.”
