Fascinating Autobiography By Wife of Andrei Sakharov
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book was written in a rather choppy manner, but I still loved it. Elena Bonner talks about her life in Russia with her husband physicist Andrei Sakharov (developer of the H bomb) and all the hardships they had to endure at the hands of their government, about her visits to the US in order to obtain special medical care and her impressions of this country, as well as the ongoing campaigning of she and her husband for world peace. Bonner is sweet, dignified and yet candid, strong and intelligent. Definitely worth reading.
