Last days in old Europe : Trieste '79, Vienna '85, Prague '89
Bassett, Richard (Historian)2019
Book
Part memoir, part reflection, this book will bring to life central Europe during the last ten years of the Cold War. Throughout, we encounter a diverse array of glittering characters: penniless aristocrats, charming gangsters, even Amazonian blondes in the service of eastern European spy agencies; fractious diplomatists and disinherited royalty supply a colourful supporting cast.
