From Library Journal:
The author has become almost as well known as her husband, Andrei Sakharov. In her memoir she relates "what has happened in the last three years" to the two of them. The book is mostly about Bonner. It tells of her trials at the hands of the KGB (she must be one of the very few Soviet citizens to have compelled the prosecutor to apologize), her illnesses, her travels in the West, and her rock-like solidarity with Sakharov. Her narrative seems to be based on a series of random and hurried jottings and is by no means easy to follow. Still, her story testifies to an enduring Soviet reality as yet far more powerful than Gorbachev's call for openness: the omnipotent state determined to rein in the independent mind. R.H. Johnston, History Dept., McMaster Univ., Hamilton, Ont.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: NEW - COLLECTIBLE. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First Edition, First Thus. BRAND NEW & COLLECTIBLE. Stated First Edition. Russian activist Yelena Bonner (1923 - 2011) was the second wife of dissident, nuclear physicist and Nobel Peace Prize winner of 1975), in whose honor the annual Sakharov Prize is awarded. Sakharov, for protest against USSR intervention in Afghanistan in 1979, was exiled to Gorky from 1980 to 1986. Then, in 1984, Sakharov went on a hunger strike so Elena could travel to the US for heart surgery. This book was written during her 6-month stay in Boston. Initially conceived as a book about Sakharov, it became words written for him while apart. She returned to Gorky in June 1986. Seller Inventory # 014960
