Circle in the Darkness

Circle in the Darkness is a veteran journalist’s lucid, uncompromising tour through half a century of contemporary history, Diana Johnstone critically dissects events and identifies trends, disclosing acute, often disquieting insights from her personal experiences: from Cold War hostilities in Yugoslavia, the U.S. antiwar movement of the sixties, the May ’68 uprising in France, the historic peace movement that led to the reunification of Germany, the transformation of the German Greens from peace to war party, to the European Union’s sacrifice of democracy to “globalization”, and more. Her book is far more than a memoir. It is a history that has not previously been written.
