K Blows Top: A Cold War Comic Interlude, Starring Nikita Khrushchev, America's Most Unlikely Tourist

Khrushchev's 1959 trip across America was one of the strangest exercises in international diplomacy ever conducted, a surreal extravaganza, in which he befriended and offended a cast of characters including Nelson Rockefeller and Marilyn Monroe. K Blows Top is a work of history that reads like a Vonnegut novel.
