The front cover of the UK paperback edition of ‘The Picnic’ by Matthew Long. Photo shows elated people (probably East German?) breaching the border between Hungary and Austria in 1989.
A terrific read. Not just as the history of a key moment; but as a timely reminder that the worst oppression can be overcome through courage, hope and no small amount of cunning. And when enough good people come together to do the right thing.
