Bloc life : stories from the lost world of communism

Molloy, Peter2019
Books
1989 was a year of astonishing and rapid change: the fall of the Berlin Wall marked the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and an end to an entire way of life for millions of people behind the Iron Curtain. 'Bloc Life' collects first hand testimony of the people who lived in East Germany, Czechoslovakia, and Romania during the Cold War era, and reveals a rich tapestry of experience that goes beyond the headlines of spies and surveillance, secret police and political corruption.
