The opening of the Berlin Wall in November 1989, which followed the resignation of East Germany's communist leader, opened the floodgates, leading to the overthrow of communism in Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Hungary, the Soviet Union itself, and the re-unification of Germany.
The author, William Buckley Jr, among his many accomplishments, is an expert in international politics, especially in the issues of the Cold War era. As a leading conservative commentator, he brings a well-considered and provocative perspective to a discussion of the fall of communism in Europe.
He participated in a forum at the Yale Club in NYC with Patrick Daniel Moynihan on the topic. Buckley is also celebrated for his wit and his well-written fiction, both talents that enliven his discussion of the event that symbolised the liberation of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union from Communist rule.
