|
A
young Jewish escapee from forced labor camp, while hiding with Christian
relatives, eagerly awaits the liberating Soviet Army at the end of
WWII in Budapest, Hungary. But as the euphoria subsides, he turns against his liberators, goes underground against the Marxist tyranny, becomes a secret reporter for Radio Free Europe. During his metamorphosis he encounters intrigue, love, execution, suicide, the cruelty of the Hungarian Secret Police and much more. The title of the book refers to the fact that while the author was in the hands of the Hungarian Communist Secret Police, he was interrogated without any sleep for SEVEN DAYS AND SEVEN NIGHTS.
