For five years, journalist William Echikson has reported from Eastern Europe, travelling from Poland in the north to Yugoslavia in the south, documenting the daily struggle against the Communist system. Here he profiles the people he knows who brought about the collapse, from Vaclav Havel and Lech Walesa to Miklos Haraszti and George Konrad. He also tells of the ordinary people, who stared down tanks in Budapest and danced on the Berlin Wall. He examines the deeper reasons behind the changes, and the struggles that still lie ahead.
