Synopsis

Life under communism is cruel and inhumane. Commit the smallest political infraction, and the secret police will arrest you. The only ray of hope is the West, but getting out from communism is difficult. Communist countries have a “Berlin Wall” around them. It is a crime to escape by crossing the border illegally, and anyone caught is beaten and imprisoned, sometimes even shot. I was eighteen, and I was living in hell. However, I would rather have died than keep living as a communist slave. This is my story of what happened and how I reached freedom.

Review:

"I highly recommend this compelling book. There are no esoteric academic theories - just the real experiences and observations of a seasoned citizen of the world about his experiences on both sides of the Iron Curtain." Jon Kompara
"I really enjoyed this book, particularly finding the personal accounts of life under the oppression of communism, and the details of a daring and harrowing escape quite compelling." Jim Foster
"Mr. Sandru has the ability to translate the complex  into simple one simple truth ...  liberty is the most valuable asset any individual has, " Kathi Herman
