Boadicea was the queen of the Iken and other British tribes.
She led a rebellion against the Roman occupiers in Britain in 60 and 61 during the reign of Emperor Nero, in which 70,000 Romans were killed. However, the rebellion was still crushed, and Boadicea committed suicide.
In the book, Mikhail Gorbachev explains perestroika as the second Russian revolution – a reform of Soviet society, economy and international politics. He advocates openness (glasnost), democracy and new cooperation with the West.
