In December 1989, Vaclav Havel and a relatively small group of
intellectuals and students brought about the collapse of the
communist regime of Czechoslovakia in what is now known as the
Velvet Revolution. Making History: Czech Voices of Dissent and the
Revolution of 1989 brings together the personal narratives of
eleven former dissidents who, though close associates of Havel,
operated without his international celebrity. The narratives, based
on interviews conducted by the author in Prague and Berlin, relate
each individual's personal experiences on topics such as growing up
in Czechoslovakia, life as a dissident, the Velvet Revolution, and
the achievements and failures of the Czech Republic since 1989.
Through their many voices we come to understand that the life of a
dissident is one of hardship, uncertainty, and constant
surveillance; yet at the same time life in the underground allows a
certain degree of freedom unattainable in official society. For
