Publisher's Synopsis
This first-hand account of the ongoing struggle for democracy in post-communist Europe is based on the author's 20 years spent in Central Europe. Based on his inside knowledge of people and events, he asks and answers probing questions about the future of Central Europe now that communism is dead. Are there any longer significant differences between left and right, is Marxism finished, is xenophobic nationalism re-emerging as a real danger - these are some of the questions asked. The book forecasts a humane political future for a region so often the site of political tragedy.
