After reading that book I'm not surprised by the above quote. You clearly have to pick a side when reading this book about who you're going to believe, and I choose to believe the author. I was amazed by how little the veterens(and many of the civilians) would talk about events and how even in this day they take the party line. Sorry to those who are offended by this, but I do believe that the collective memory was completely shaped by the party. This was actually the most educational aspect of the book for me. Thats my 2 cents.
Great book
And now I prepare myself to be slapped by Ivan
