The Magic Lantern
by Timothy Garton Ash

The Revolution of '89 Witnessed in Warsaw, Budapest, Berlin, and Prague

The Magic Lantern is one of those rare books that define a historic moment, written by a brilliant witness who was also a participant in epochal events. Whether covering Poland's first free parliamentary elections -- in which Solidarity found itself in the position of trying to limit the scope of its victory -- or sitting in at the meetings of an unlikely coalition of bohemian intellectuals and Catholic clerics orchestrating the liberation of Czechoslovakia, Garton Ash writes with enormous sympathy and power.

In this book -- now with a new Afterword by the author -- Garton Ash creates a stunningly evocative portrait of the revolutions that swept Communism from Eastern Europe in 1989 and whose after-effects will resonate for years to come.

"Along with the historian's long view, Gatton Ash has an eye and an ear for the telling detail. "
--Washington Past Book World
(8/93)
