In 1989, revolutionary leaders in Eastern Europe made a decisive break with the past, hoping to create societies free from the defects of both communism and capitalism.
Feffer paints a vivid picture of the political and economic conflicts that reshaped Eastern Europe in 1989, including Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia.
“Feffer examines each country's unique conditions and dissident movements, yet shows how all the dissidents are linked.”—Reader
