Defection from Communist Czechoslovakia
by Peter Vodenka
It was an extremely intriguing book. A co-worker of my husband lent it to him. His co-worker knows the author as they are in the same line of work. Small world syndrome, I guess. This book told the story of a husband and wife who planned their defection from their communist country. They took with them their two small children, ages 2 and 4. Not only did it tell of their escape, but also of their start in America and their life prior to defection in Czechoslovakia. For anyone who has not lived in a communist country, it was eye opening. Made you very appreciative of living in America and all the freedoms we have.
