Timely, gripping, and hard-hitting: the inside story of the most important events in Europe since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
In December 2004, the world watched as hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians gathered to defy the results of a transparently rigged presidential election. The charismatic popular candidate, Viktor Yushchenko, was disfigured after being poisoned by his opponents. The security forces threatened violent repression. But the demonstrators stayed and, as international pressure grew, the corrupt old regime that had been supported by Putin’s Kremlin was deposed.
An Orange Revolution is the gripping account of this historic uprising and the events that led to it. Often in thrall to the Kremlin but aspiring to the liberties of western Europe, Ukraine was treated roughly by the twentieth century, occupied by the Germans and annexed by the Soviets. Its history has been one of corruption, power struggles, organized crime, but a resiliently optimistic population.
An Orange Revolution also traces the story of the author’s family, who paid a high price for speaking out. It is a captivating book about a defining moment in European history.
