Lovers want to know the truth, but they do not always want to tell it. For some East Germans, the fall of Communism was like the end of a long and painful love free to tell the truth at last, they found they no longer wanted to hear it. This book relates the history of central Europe from the perspective of those on the other side of the Cold War.
