Best Nonfiction of 2012: The Wall Street Journal, The Plain Dealer

In the much-anticipated follow-up to her Pulitzer Prize-winning Gulag, acclaimed journalist Anne Applebaum delivers a groundbreaking history of how Communism took over Eastern Europe after World War II and transformed in frightening fashion the individuals who came under its sway. Iron Curtain describes how, spurred by Stalin and his secret police, the Communist regimes of Eastern Europe were created and what daily life was like once they were complete. Drawing on newly opened East European archives, interviews, and personal accounts translated for the first time, Applebaum portrays in chilling detail the dilemmas faced by millions of individuals trying to adjust to a way of life that challenged their every belief and took away everything they had accumulated. As a result the Soviet Bloc became a lost civilization, one whose cruelty, paranoia, bizarre morality, and strange aesthetics Applebaum captures in these electrifying pages.

Very happy
Color: White, Size: 15.7", Color: White, Size: 15.7"
Easy to install, material could have been a little high quality but for the price I’m not complaining, the shelves themselves are very light weight and seem pretty durable but time will tell

Great corner unit - love the hole for wires!
Color: White-2pack
Perfect little shelf for our room! We wanted a small little shelf in the corner that could hold a charger and that hole cut out made it perfect for our needs! I really liked the style of it and the little bar around the front. Sometimes cups or something get put on it and this stops them from falling! These shelves feel super sturdy and took me 2 minutes to install!
