Dancing Bears: True Stories of People Nostalgic for Life Under Tyranny by Witold Szabłowski
3.0
4 stars for the first half of the book and 2.5 for the second half.
The first half is poetic and devastating. The author paints such a clear picture of how complicated the movement from communism to democracy was for countries in the Eastern Bloc. I would recommend any American read this section of the book and experience how multifaceted that transition was and continues to be.
The second half was not as well organized, but the first-hand accounts by people all over the world are worth the read.
