Written by the acclaimed Bulgarian journalist and writer Nassya Kralevska-Owens, with introduction by Professor Mark Kramer, Director of the Project for Cold War Studies at the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Harvard University, this is a brilliant, eye-opening chronicle of Bulgaria's history during the second half of the 20th century. ~ ~ The book is the first in a series of monographs published by the American Research Center in Sofia which deal with Bulgarian history from prehistory through the modern age; these volumes are currently in preparation.~ Praise for the book: ~ Communism versus Democracy illustrates with brilliant clarity that communist rhetoric about the good of mankind only meant "the masses" as an impersonal abstraction, while in fact the communists preached and practiced profound disregard for the individual. Those who wish to know about the Cold War, Eastern Europe, and Bulgaria in the second half of the 20th century will profit enormously from reading this book. - Prof. Kevin Clinton, Cornell University; President and Co-founder, American Research Center in Sofia (ARCS).~

ByNora D.on October 21, 2010

Format: Hardcover

Written in the best historiographical tradition, Communism vs. Democracy is a passionate and honest account of Bulgaria's recent history (1944-1997). Balancing an amazingly rich array of sources - archival documents, history books, newspaper publications, eyewitness evidence, personal diaries, confessions and interviews - Nassya Kralevska-Owens' monograph offers the reader what no textbook can achieve: empathy with every event described. A goldmine for the historian of Eastern Europe, Communism vs. Democracy will also be of substantial interest to anyone who wishes to learn what went on behind the Iron Curtain, both in its factual and human dimensions. On every page of the book one feels the author's pain for the immense physical and moral devastation caused by the communist regime, her happiness for the rebirth of freedom and human dignity, and her unfailing love for Bulgaria.
