About this title

Synopsis

To celebrate 25 years of Index on Censorship, this collection of essays has been brought together to portray the dramatic happenings that have taken place in the former Communist areas of Europe. There are essays by figures as varied as Andrei Sakharov, Roy Medvedev, Mark Frankland, Vaclav Havel, Salman Rushdie, W.L. Webb and Geoffrey Hosking. The book as a whole provides a witness to the collapse of totalitarian regimes and their transformation into fledgling democracies or into neofascist states, and will make fascinating reading for all those who are interested in the events of the past quarter of a century.
