How We Survived Communism And Even Laughed by Slavenka Drakulić

5.0

---

This book was incredible. I knew from my 10th grade world history class that life under Communist rule was terrible, but the fact that women had no sanitary napkins was the most mind boggling thing of all. No wonder this system failed, it could not even provide the most basic necessities of life for half of its population!
