The Bridge at Andau is James A. Michener at his most gripping. His classic nonfiction account of a doomed uprising is as searing and unforgettable as any of his bestselling novels. For five brief, glorious days in the autumn of 1956, the Hungarian revolution gave its people a glimpse at a different kind of future—until, at four o’clock in the morning on a Sunday in November, the citizens of Budapest awoke to the shattering sound of Russian tanks ravaging their streets. The revolution was over. But freedom beckoned in the form of a small footbridge at Andau, on the Austrian border. By an accident of history it became, for a few harrowing weeks, one of the most important crossings in the world, as the soul of a nation fled across its unsteady planks. BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from James A. Michener's Hawaii.   Praise for The Bridge at Andau   “Precise, vivid . . . immeasurably stirring.”—The Atlantic Monthly   “Dramatic, chilling, enraging.”—San Francisco Chronicle   “Superb.”—Kirkus Reviews   “Highly recommended reading.”—Library Journal

I gave it five stars because of course it is well researched but mostly because I feel more people need to know how awful communism was and in many ways still is. My mother had to flee with us from Hungary when WWII broke out and I know she never dared to write to any of her family left behind. To avoid any defection, people were told that if they escaped their whole family would be taken into custody. And believe me, custody is a euphemism in this case. Torture was the thumb of rule. Some parts are difficult to read because of the awful savagery that took place. In such dictatorships, like in North Korea now as well, people are cut off completely from outside news and right from early childhood indoctrinated. The government encourage spying on each other and so nobody dares to trust any body. Russian soldiers were told they had to guard the borders to prevent people from entering the country. Well it was the opposite.People tried to leave the country at enormous risks. For example, I remember our mother telling us how one Hungarian escaped by holding on to the bottom of a train.
