The Magic Lantern is one of those rare books that capture history
in the making, written by an author who was witness to some of the
most remarkable moments that marked the collapse of Communism in
Eastern Europe. Timothy Garton Ash was there in Warsaw, on 4 June,
when the communist government was humiliated by Solidarity in the
first semi-free elections since the Second World War. He was there
in Budapest, twelve days later, when Imre Nagy - thirty-one years
after his execution - was finally given his proper funeral. He was
there in Berlin, as the Wall opened. And most remarkable of all, he
was there in Prague, in the back rooms of the Magic Lantern
theatre, with Vaclav Havel and the members of Civic Forum, as they
made their 'Velvet Revolution'.
