Velvet Crossovers

A story of what happened to the author's family and the Czechoslovak nation during a pivotal moment in history, as the Iron Curtain began to fracture, as the sun began to set on the Soviet empire, and as Communist Czechoslovakia changed forever. It is said that history repeats itself. One can recall Russian tanks rolling through Czechoslovakia in 1968 and again in this 1989 story; only to see those same, frightful images replayed in Georgia in 2008 and the Ukraine in 2014.
