Best Nonfiction of 2012: The Wall Street Journal, The Plain Dealer

In the much-anticipated follow-up to her Pulitzer Prize-winning Gulag, acclaimed journalist Anne Applebaum delivers a groundbreaking history of how Communism took over Eastern Europe after World War II and transformed in frightening fashion the individuals who came under its sway. Iron Curtain describes how, spurred by Stalin and his secret police, the Communist regimes of Eastern Europe were created and what daily life was like once they were complete. Drawing on newly opened East European archives, interviews, and personal accounts translated for the first time, Applebaum portrays in chilling detail the dilemmas faced by millions of individuals trying to adjust to a way of life that challenged their every belief and took away everything they had accumulated. As a result the Soviet Bloc became a lost civilization, one whose cruelty, paranoia, bizarre morality, and strange aesthetics Applebaum captures in these electrifying pages.

Nice and soft tank tops!
Like the tank tops (3); they wash and dry well and did not loose their shape. Wish arm holes were a bit smaller. Purchased these to wear when I exercise. They also work really well under a long sleeve shirt for purposes of layering in cold weather. Material is very soft to the body.

Fabric was definitely not what was expected.
Size: Medium, Color: White
It was thick and very stretchy. It didn't feel like 90% cotton felt more like 90% spandex. It also was deceiving in the picture. the hem was straight across rather than tapered like I was hoping. IDK, maybe they sent the wrong one. Regardless it is going back.
