This is one of the most entertaining books that I have read, I got through it in one sitting (actually, I got up once, but I'll save that for some other post). The writer emphasizes the journalistic comedy over the politics, although there was a lot of politics, both geo- and domestic, to explain). There are actually 3 trips involved, first, Nixon's trip to Moscow (the kitchen debate), Khrushchev's trip across America in 1959 (that's most of the book), and Khrushchev's trip to NY and the United Nations in 1960 (since he wasn't invited by the US government, he was confined to Manhatten).
