",[An] incredibly moving collection of oral histories . .
.important enough to be added to the history curriculum",
Telegraph",Essential reading", History Today",A moving evocation .
. .An illuminating if harrowing insight into life in a totalitarian
state.", Clarissa de Waal, author of ALBANIA: PORTRAIT OF A COUNTRY
IN TRANSITION",Albania, enigmatic, mysterious Albania, was always
the untold story of the Cold War, the 1989 revolutions and the fall
of the Berlin Wall. Mud Sweeter Than Honey goes a very long way
indeed towards putting that right", New EuropeanAfter breaking ties
with Yugoslavia, the USSR and then China, Enver Hoxha believed that
Albania could become a self-sufficient bastion of communism. Every
day, many of its citizens were thrown into prisons and forced
labour camps for daring to think independently, for rebelling
against the regime or trying to escape - the consequences of their
actions were often tragic and irreversible.Mud Sweeter than Honey
gives voice to those who lived in Albania at that time - from poets
and teachers to shoe-makers and peasant farmers, and many others
whose aspirations were brutally crushed in acts of unimaginable
repression - creating a vivid, dynamic and often painful picture of
this totalitarian state during the forty years of Hoxha's ruthless
dictatorship. Very little emerged from Albania during communist
times. With these personal accounts, Rejmer opens a window onto a
terrifying period in the country's history.Mud Sweeter than Honey
is not only a gripping work of reportage, but also a necessary and
unique portrait of a nation. With an Introduction by Tony
