About This Item
London: Collins Harvill, 1986. 1st. h/b. Very good, 1st UK edition, unclipped d/j (some bumping and marking, in protective sleeve), clean red clothbound boards, gilt spine-titling bright; text block firm, pages crisp and unmarked. Some foxing on edges. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). The author has become almost as well known as her husband, Andrei Sakharov. In her memoir she relates ""what has happened in the last three years"" to the two of them. The book is mostly about Bonner. It tells of her trials at the hands of the KGB (she must be one of the very few Soviet citizens to have compelled the prosecutor to apologize), her illnesses, her travels in the West, and her rock-like solidarity with Sakharov.
