A picture is worth a thousand words, April 16, 2000

This review is from: Unfinished Socialism: Pictures from the Kadar Era (Paperback)
This is az amazing book about an interesting period of Hungarian history. In my view, if you'd like to know an era, the best thing to do is to check out its newspapers and magazines, and this is exactly what this book provides you with. Tons of funny/ridiculous/incredible (depending on your political attitude) pictures and clips of articles. Being Hungarian, I might have a different view on these things than non-Hungarians, but I'm too young to remember most of this era. If you'd like to know how people could actually _live_ in an oppressive socialist state without any personal freedom, this book is the one to read. It tells you a lot in an amusing way about this sad & sweet period of Hungarian history.
