Great read! Even tho' I'm not old enough to remember Kruschchev and much of the cold war, I enjoyed these history of Nikita's visit to US in 1959. Surprisingly funny. Great background info on how foreign dignitaries are handled or, in K's instance, not. Full of characters, well known and otherwise. Always a bit of melancholy involved when thinking of how Americans were so naive and trusting before Kennedy was killed. Wonderful time capsule.
The first biography of Clarence Birdseye, the eccentric genius inventor whose fast-freezing process revolutionized the food industry and American agriculture.
