Brezhnev: The Masks Of Power (1974) By John Dornberg
 
 In this intriguing study, based on extensive research and interviews with people who knew him during his early years as a party functionary, John Dornberg reveals for the first time as complete as possible a picture of this man who has climbed his way up the party ladder to become the supreme leader of the Soviet Union today. Dornberg illustrates the many facets of Brezhnev's personality with an abundance of anecdotes: while publicly, in the conventional Communist fashion, Brezhnev is a moralizer who exhorts his countrymen to ever greater achievement, he is almost childishly delighted by capitalist moeurs and possessions-immaculately tailored suits, haute cuisine, racehorses, and fast foreign-made cars.
