Written by an expert in European studies for young adults. Explains and analyzes the fall of communism in Eastern Europe. Scores of photographs, political cartoons and maps make this book visually appealing. Country by country, the author covers the enormous changes that occurred throughout the Fall of 1989 as well as events in the nine months that followed.

Customer Rating:
Summary: A Good Overview of the Communism fall
Comment: I Think it's a good book because it gives a general overview of each country and how they achieved freedom ,human rights and democracy, sometimes fast and without violence other times with violence or very slowly. But it serves as a good introduction to the topic without going too deep into it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A useful but superficial retelling
Comment: I picked this up when the 15th anniversary of the overthrow of the Communist governments of Eastern Europe went almost unnoticed in the media, and I was curious to recall the events of that tumultuous year. This book is intended for young adults and is a nation-by-nation retelling of the quiet cataclysm that changed Europe. Hastily written, it runs only as deep as a newspaper article--there are no interviews, either with political figures or the man-in-the-street, or, as far as I can tell, any original research. In so short a book it would be impossible to really treat the subject as it deserves, but if all you want is to recall what happened in 1989, without an investigation of their root causes or a deeper understanding of the cultures of these countries, this would do the job.
