I am looking for a good account of the fall of Communism in Eastern Europe,
approximately over the years 1984-85 through 1992. Not necessarily just in
the former Soviet Union (if I recall correctly, the opening of the
Hungary-Austria border was a major factor) but throughout the bloc, as one
country after another abandoned communism.

Any book recommendations will be appreciated. I am looking for a book of
events as they occurred, rather than the ideological factors.

Thanks for any assistance,

Jay
