" This book is excellent. It is a well-written, well-researched account of the end of Communist rule in central and eastern Europe. Victor Sebestyen has plumbed the archives in many countries and has produced an informative, nuanced account of the end of the Soviet empire that is a joy to read. "

" A terrific book to read after Anne Applebaum's The Crushing of Eastern Europe. Biographies of the actors in the multiple dramas of Eastern Europe and Russia are interwoven with the events leading up to the fall of the Soviet empire. "

" I loved this book! It was written in an exciting, fast-paced style that made it extremely easy to read. I've read so many other non-fiction books that were dry, scholarly, dusty tomes and took forever to read. Not so with this one. "

" quite good synopsis of and description of the social pressures behind what happened in the 6 warsaw pact countries prior to the revolutions of 1989, from the long (but largely peaceful) march of solidarity in poland to the bloody overthrow of Ceausescu in Romania.
