John Lloyd looks back at the life of a man who changed the world. The last leader of the Soviet Union. A Communist apparatchik who rose through the ranks, only to tear apart that Communist system. His actions led to the end of a Cold War that had lasted half a century. Mikhail Gorbachev was one of the most remarkable individuals of the 20th Century, and one who played a decisive role in creating the world we inhabit today. John Lloyd was head of the Moscow Bureau of the Financial Times during Gorbachev's period in power.
