A first-hand glimpse into the humor, glamour, and horror of house-building in Cold War Russia. A construction team led by young American Ernie Hurwitz converges in Moscow to build a modified model American home—what future press legend William “Billy” Safire dubbed "Splitnik," for the walkway that bisected it—that unexpectedly became the site of Nixon and Khrushchev’s infamous Kitchen Debate of 1959. In Honor of the 60th Anniversary of the Nixon-Khrushchev Kitchen Debate, the book contains dozens of never-before-published original historic photographs by Ernie Hurwitz.
