There was life before the fall. 1989 was a year of astonishing and
rapid change: the fall of the Berlin Wall marked the collapse of
communism in Eastern Europe and an end to an entire way of life for
millions of people behind the Iron Curtain. Bloc Life collects
first hand testimony of the people who lived in East Germany,
Czechoslovakia and Romania during the Cold War era, and reveals a
rich tapestry of experience that goes beyond the headlines of spies
and surveillance, secret police and political corruption. In fact,
many of the people remember their lives under communism as
'perfectly ordinary' and even hanker for the 'security' that it
offered. From political leaders, athletes and pop stars, to cooks,
miners and cosmonauts, the stories collected in Bloc Life evoke the
moods, preoccupations and experiences of a world that vanished
almost overnight.
