ABOUT THE BOOK
"15 Best Non-Fiction Books of 2016" - CSMonitor
Set against one of the most dramatic periods of the twentieth century, Forty Autumns is a true story of one family's courage, resilience and quiet defiance in the face of a bizarre totalitarian regime that kept its citizens isolated from the free world.
It is a story about a world at war - about the Soviet - American superpower struggle for ideological superiority, the birth and death of a reclusive communist state … and about one family's forty year struggle to find each other again.
