Have the Mountains Fallen?: Two Journeys of Loss and Redemption in the Cold War Lilley JeffreyPaperback
After surviving the blitzkrieg of World War II and escaping from two Nazi prison camps, Soviet soldier Azamat Altay was banished as a traitor from his native home land. While both came from small villages in the beautiful mountainous countryside, they found themselves caught on opposite sides of the Cold War struggle between world superpowers. Chinghiz Aitmatov became a hero of Kyrgyzstan, writing novels about the lives of everyday Soviet citizens but mourning a mystery that might never be solved.
Yet just as they seemed to be pulled apart in the political turmoil, they found their lives intersecting in moving and surprising ways. Altay became the voice of democracy on Radio Liberty, while Aitmatov rose through the ranks of Soviet politics. Have the Mountains Fallen?
