Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Third Edition. Some edge wear to card covers ; A tight solid book. ; B&W Illustrations; 8.43 X 5.85 X 0.73 inches; 119 pages; "An extraordinary experiment took place in Eastern Europe. Within a short period of time several nations suddenly found themselves standing face to face with the chance to change their fate - an event rarely seen in history. On 23rd November, 1989, on the seventh day of the "velvet revolution" in Prague, Timothy Garton Ash said to Vaclav Havel, "In Poland it took ten years, in Hungary 10 months, in the GDR 10 weeks, perchance it will take 10 days here in Czechoslovakia?" the revolutionary events did indeed take a little longer but word had gone out. The pace of change was truly remarkable. As subsequent steps on the road to change did not meet with expected forced opposition from the authorities, so courage grew. Meanwhile, with every compromise, the power of he authorities became weaker. The peoples of other countries could start out on ever-decreasing marathons. Revolutionary change sometimes happened to be an illusion (like in Romania at an early stage) and sovereignty apparent (Belarus). The breakthrough of 1989/90 meant a peaceful overthrow of Communism in Europe. Today, the residents of the seven former Soviet bloc countries may be certain that the "Yalta" curse will not come back to them.".
