1989 - Victor Sebestyen
16.9 €
Kniha 1989 – Pád sovietskeho impéria prináša strhujúci príbeh o roku, keď sa zrútila železná opona a celý východný blok sa vymanil spod sovietskeho vplyvu. Victor Sebestyen, uznávaný historik a novinár, približuje dramatické udalosti od pádu Berlínskeho múru cez pokojné revolúcie v Poľsku, Maďarsku či Československu až po pád komunistických režimov, ktoré sa ešte nedávno zdali neotrasiteľné. Sebestyen sa opiera o dobové dokumenty a osobné svedectvá politikov, disidentov aj obyčajných občanov a odhaľuje, že diktatúry sa rúcali rýchlejšie, než si svet dokázal predstaviť. Táto kniha je nielen podrobnou kronikou historického prelomu, ale aj živým svedectvom o sile odvahy a túžby po slobode.
