Critics Review
“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 “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
