Аннотация:

In 1993, a 70 year old veteran politician from the Soviet era was propelled from semi-retirement and back into the international spotlight at a moment that would define the survival, or not, of his nation. Heydar Aliyev was born in 1923, the son of refugees, his father a working class railwayman. In July 1969, Leonid Brezhnev signed a decree ordering his appointment as the head of Azerbaijan. Heydar Aliyev served in the Soviet Union's highest decision-making body, the Politburo, and then also as Deputy Premier. Aliyev would return to the mainstream in 1993 during Azerbaijan's darkest hour, on the verge of civil war, amid economic collapse and on the brink of becoming a failed state. Not only would shape a modern Azerbaijan as one of the most stable and progressive nations in the world. This book tells the story of the rise and the rise again of a man and his nation.
