Add a CommentAn enlightening account of how the Soviets transformed Eastern Europe in the decade after World War II. The focus is almost entirely on Poland, East Germany, and Hungary. It made me want to learn more about the region and its history; it also serves as a good case history of communist states.
This is a magnificent narrative history of the founding of the "Eastern Block". I might not agree with all of her analysis, but her facts and most of her insights are right on. I am a specialist in the languages of this area rather than its modern history, but I highly recommend anything Dr. Applebaum has written.
