Omschrijving
The intimate final memoirs from the great dissident-turned-politician who, along with Walesa and Gorbachev, will always be an icon of the magnificent, bloodless collapse of Soviet Bloc Communism.
A political memoir like no other ... by the end you will have a remarkable feel for Havel's intricate personality - spiky, shy and under-confident but inwardly tough - as well as a compelling record of what candour and moral courage can achieve
Most books are quite like other books. This one isn't. It is unlike any statesman's memoirs I have ever read and Havel's story is an extraordinary one
VÁCLAV HAVEL was born in Czechoslovakia in 1936.
