She is glowing in her praise for her daring and dashing father and oddly grudging in her appreciation for her beautiful and brave mother." "ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE, Katie Marton's seventh book, [is] a powerful and absolutely absorbing narrative of her parents' journey--a series of escapes from Hitler, from Stalin, eventually to America." "Marton's story...is one of bravery, suffering, survival and vindication. She tells it in straightforward, lucid prose...and with her emotions well under control. This is not a woe-is-me memoir of the sort so much in fashion these days, but a carefully reported, almost clinical account of what it is like to live in a totalitarian state and how hard it is to escape from it. It is much less a memoir of Marton's childhood than a joint biography of her remarkable parents....She isn't sure that either of them would like the book, as they didn't like their secrets told, but the reader surely will feel, as I do, that it is a powerful tribute to them." Publisher's noteRelates the author's eyewitness account of her parents' arrests in Cold War Budapest, Hungary, and the terrible separation that followed, including her parents' painful time in prison, in a book that draws on secret police files and dozens of interviews t Relates the author's eyewitness account of her parents' arrests in Cold War Budapest, Hungary, and the terrible separation that followed, including her parents' painful time in prison, in a book that draws on secret police files and dozens of interviews t Renowned author Kati Marton tells how her journalist parents survived the Nazis in Budapest and were imprisoned by the Soviets. AnnotationKati Marton's parents, award-winning journalists who refused to placate the Communist government in Budapest, were accused of being spies for the West and arrested. Finally, after years of strife and horror, the family managed to flee Hungary and come to America. When she went back to Budapest and looked into the secret police files, Marton was shocked by the complex web of betrayal she uncovered--by people she had thought were trustworthy. This surprising and completely gripping book, which reads like a thriller, is her own story of those years. Marton is herself a celebrated journalist who has worked for both ABC News and NPR.
