In April 1989 a series of citizen uprisings began throwing off the
yoke of communism in Eastern Europe. In Poland, Czechoslovakia,
Hungary, East Germany and Bulgaria, dictators were forced to
abdicate - all bloodlessly. Then came Romania. During the week
leading up to Christmas, students and factory workers took to the
streets. So did dictator Nicolae Ceasusescu's tanks, armored
personnel carriers, soldiers and secret police. Blood soon was
staining the streets of cities across the nation. Determined
protesters would be shot, bayoneted, crushed - with thousands
killed or wounded. Terror and torture gave way to courage and an
abiding yearning for freedom in a season forgotten elsewhere around
the world.
