Prague Winter: A Personal Story of Remembrance and War, 1937-1948 by Madeleine K. Albright
5.0
I borrowed this book from the library after my father recommended it to me. The book was heartbreaking, uplifting, maddening and a loving legacy to the fight that people have in them to overcome evil tyrany.
Mrs. Albright is a wonderful writer who you can tell loving researched this book to the full extent of her brilliant mind's capacity and then delved into historical records of family and compadres who lived in her birth country.
This book was deep, full of detail and took me while to read because I wanted to soak in all the spirits of those who lived in this book.
I didn't know much about the history of Czechoslovakia until reading this book. I knew they were entrenched in the nazis takeover but was unaware as to how many citizens lost their lives in the war.
I highly recommend this book. If you admired Mrs. Albright when she was Secretary of State you will become even more enamored with her learning of her early childhood and the smarts that she shows in this writing.
