Reviews

Relying on oral histories and other primary sources, Horvath explores how the Communist regime manipulated state-sponsored tabloid media during the trial to legitimize its own role as guardians of public safety and to portray the youth as social deviants who were instruments of Western-style decadence. . . . Highly recommended. -- C. P. Vesei * Choice *
