Provokes a renewed appreiciation of American freedom.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Grigori Medvedev presents an accurate, disturbing account of censorship and secrecy in the USSR. In his struggle to publish warnings of impending disaster (Chernobyl) Medvedev is met with resistance which Americans cannot fathom. Threats of imprisonment, death, and dicreditation are all too common to an author and scientist simply trying to prevent catastrophe. Medvedev's persistence is most commendable, and is his faith in God very apparent. Such courage, faith, and intelligence is far too rare in the world and Grigori's struggle makes U.S. freedom all the more gratifying.
