Knock in the Night, by Refugee #14543, Balazs Szabo (TPB, 2006, $2.50)
"Government secret police with machine guns are ordered to fire into a crowd. Men, women, and children are slaughtered at the nation's Parliament...
Fifty years ago, the world held its breath as a nation rose up against tyranny and terror. The event was the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, when a small nation dared to challenge their Soviet oppressors. Though a bloody defeat, the uprising revealed to the the world the true nature of communism, which rules by terror... Knock in the Night is the artist's cautionary memoir of growing up under Communist brutality... This extraordinary book vividly recounts those desperate times and is an urgent reminder that where there is no democracy, there is no safety."
What more is there to say. Look for this on the new non-fiction table. (L-H)
