This book mostly struck me with details like toilet paper being difficult to procure; things like that. It's something that you don't necessarily need a lot of context to read; so as a casual history book I'd recommend this.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A great window into every day life under communismBy Alan M. JanigianA great window into every day life under communism. A fantastic historical narrative that focuses on things not normally covered in history class; like communist toilet paper; sharing apartments; talking with the man who listens to all your phone calls; etc.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
