Five years ago, I wrote a trilogy on my memories of Central Europe and the Collapse of the Soviet Dominated Regimes.
The first writing was called: Revolutions of 1989-Part 1: Tiananmen Square & After Effects in Europe
ABSTRACT: Aside from Jantzen's THE WRONG SIDE OF THE WALL: An American in East Berlin During the Time of the Peaceful Revolution, there has been far too little written which accurately portrays life in East Germany in the year leading up to the end of communist totalitarianism.

The second writing was:REVOLUTIONS OF 1989-Part 3: UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF UNCERTAINTY By Kevin Stoda, Germany
