520			_aAt the end of World War II, the Soviet Union, to its surprise and delight, found itself in control of a huge swath of territory in Eastern Europe. Stalin and his secret police set out to convert a dozen radically different countries to Communism, a completely new political and moral system. Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Anne Applebaum describes how the Communist regimes of Eastern Europe were created and what daily life was like, once they were complete.
