Eastern European countries surveyed at the demolition of the Iron Curtain April 19, 2008
Cousin Jack (Cornwall)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Each chapter of this book is a concise overview of one of the countries formerly hemmed in between the Soviet Union and the Iron Curtain (except the DDR). The details covered range from distant history to economic, cultural and military factors affecting that country at the time of writing (about 1990, within a year of the 1989 revolutions). The author's writing style (`sounding' very much like a discursive BBC journalist) is chatty and informative, his wry, balanced and perceptive commentary making this book very readable. And as for his sceptical and worried predictions of 1990 about the `end of history' ... they seem justified so far. Thoroughly recommended for general reading or a quick survey of c. 1989 Eastern Europe.
