Product Information | |
ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE IS A TOUR DE FORCE, an important work of history as it was lived, a narrative of multiple betrayals on both sides of the Cold War that ends with triumph and a new beginning in America. In this true-life thriller Kati Marton, an award-winning journalist, exposes the cruel mechanics of the Communist Terror State using the secret police files on her parents, as well as dozens of interviews that reveal how her family was spied on and betrayed by friends, colleagues, and even their children's babysitter. In this moving and brave memoir, Marton searches for and finds her parents and love. | |

Reviews | "Powerful and absolutely absorbing. . . .Enemies of the People has all the magnetism, and, yes, the excitement, of the very best spy fiction. But would that it were fiction. . . . An honestly inspiring story." --Alan Furst, The New York Times Book Review, "A true story that is deeply moving and altogether amazing. It is a mystery story, a love story, and a walk through history."-- BARBARA WALTERS, "Marton's story is one of bravery, suffering, survival and vindication. She tells it in straightforward, lucid prose . . . carefully reported, almost clinical account of what it is like to live in a totalitarian state and how hard it is to escape from it. . . . It's a terrific story, and Marton tells it very well." --Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post, "Kati Marton has written a candid and courageous book about a chapter in her parents' lives that most daughters would have preferred to leave unexamined."-- LOUIS BEGLEY, AUTHOR OFMATTERS OF HONORANDWARTIME LIES, "Marton's story is one of bravery, suffering, survival and vindication. She tells it in straightforward, lucid prose . . . carefully reported, almost clinical account of what it is like to live in a totalitarian state and how hard it is to escape from it. . . . It's a terrific story, and Marton tells it very well."--Jonathan Yardley,The Washington Post, "Kati Marton'sEnemies of the Peopleis a riveting moral tale of Communist terror and human courage that will help the reader better understand a period in European history that must be remembered."-- ELIE WIESEL, "Wonderful. . . . A family story that reads like a novel. . . . A book that is honest, frank, and true . . . recalls the best works of Koestler and Orwell, but contained within a family story, which remains for all its horrors, touching, life-loving, even, in its own unsentimental way, inspirational." --Michael Korda, The Daily Beast, "This is an honest, bracing, unforgettable story that will change the way readers think about the middle of the 20th century in Europe. For all of what we know of places like Hungary in the Stalinist period, we know nothing until we feel it, and here we do, finally and profoundly."-- STEVE COLL, AUTHOR OFGHOST WARSANDTHE BIN LADENS, "Wonderful. . . . A family story that reads like a novel. . . . A book that is honest, frank, and true . . . recalls the best works of Koestler and Orwell, but contained within a family story, which remains for all its horrors, touching, life-loving, even, in its own unsentimental way, inspirational." --Michael Korda, The Daily Beast, "Marton's story is one of bravery, suffering, survival and vindication. She tells it in straightforward, lucid prose . . . carefully reported, almost clinical account of what it is like to live in a totalitarian state and how hard it is to escape from it. . . . It's a terrific story, and Marton tells it very well." --Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post, "Kati Marton's powerful and unsparing memoir is one of the great new testimonies from the Cold War era, candidly relating a version of Arthur Koestler'sDarkness at Noonas lived by one of the daughters of the resisters. I will never forget this book and neither will you."-- SEAN WILENTZ, AUTHOR OFTHE RISE OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY, "Wonderful. . . . A family story that reads like a novel. . . . A book that is honest, frank, and true . . . recalls the best works of Koestler and Orwell, but contained within a family story, which remains for all its horrors, touching, life-loving, even, in its own unsentimental way, inspirational."--Michael Korda,The Daily Beast, "It is the rare page-turner and thriller that comes in the form of a family memoir. By sharing her family's improbable journey, Kati Marton has left her readers moved and changed, with a renewed appreciation for the freedoms -- and the family -- we cherish."-- SAMANTHA POWER, AUTHOR OFA PROBLEM FROM HELLANDCHASING THE FLAME, "Powerful and absolutely absorbing. . . .Enemies of the People has all the magnetism, and, yes, the excitement, of the very best spy fiction. But would that it were fiction. . . . An honestly inspiring story."--Alan Furst, TheNew York Times Book Review |
