Description

In this unique and enlightening work, Oliver Lu translates into English the memoirs of the East German political and cultural figure Gustav Just.

Lu gives readers of the English language the opportunity to experience the history of a country hidden from the West.

They will learn how Mr. Just was wrongly accused of plotting against the German government and how his trial served as a stereotypical communist 'show-trial.' By absorbing this commentary on Just's first-hand experience, readers will understand the prison conditions that he endured and the political platform to which he and his associates had aspired.

Thoroughly researched and impeccably translated, this book should become an important primary source for all students, scholars, and laypeople in the up-and-coming field of interest in the former Soviet bloc.
