Title: Popular history in the making
Review: Rosenberg's interviews form a Studs Terkel-like mosaic of Eastern Europe emerging from its age of ideology. Her informers recall the excitement of popular democracy movements "... live as if we had democracy in Poland. Don't burn down party headquarters, build your own. Don't worry about the Party or the state. Forget about the government labor unions, found your own ...". Others offer thoughtful consideration of the future, or describe the tragedy of people divided, when the past's state secrets are revealed.
