The
specter ofcommunism
that
held sway over much of
the
20th century
Iw
been eflec–
tively laid to rest. But
the
evil it
inflicted on many millions
should not
be
forgotten.
Eyewitness
serves as a witness
to
that past and a
warning to future generations.
Composed of telling, often searing, excerpts
from eloquent testimonies-including Milovan
Djilas, Elena Bonner, Vladimir Bukovsky, Leonid
Plyushch, Natan Sharansky, Petro Grigorenko, and
Anatoly
Marchenko-Eyewitness
speaks to the
disillusion, the degradation, the despair, the
loneliness and agony, and the occasional triumphs
that formed the essence ofthe defector's apostasy.
