Editor's Note:
***Premio de Periodismo deEl Mundo y Premio Francisco Cerecedo de Periodismo 2021***La deslumbrante historia la creación del imperio soviético que partió Europa por la mitad durante medio siglo.Al final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial la Unión Soviética controlaba una inmensa extensión de territorio en Europa oriental. Stalin y su policía secreta emprendieron la conversión de doce países radicalmente diferentes a un sistema político y moral totalmente nuevo: el comunismo.La historiadora Anne Applebaum (que obtuvo el premio Pulitzer por Gulag) presenta en estas páginas la obra definitiva sobre cómo surgió el Telón de Acero y cómo era la vida al otro lado. Applebaum describe con pavoroso detalle cómo los partidos políticos, la Iglesia, los medios, las organizaciones juveniles, en suma, todas las instituciones de la sociedad civil, fueron rápidamente desmanteladas. Explica cómo se organizó la policía secreta y cómo se atacaron y destruyeron todas las formas de oposición. Como resultado, en un periodo de tiempo asombrosamente breve, Europa oriental fue estalinizada por completo. A partir de documentos inaccesibles hasta hace poco y fuentes desconocidas en Occidente, Applebaum sigue la táctica comunista en su camino al poder, las amenazas, los abusos y los asesinatos. También narra historias individuales para mostrar las opciones que se presentaban a la gente: luchar, huir o colaborar.El Telón de Acero es la deslumbrante historia de un periodo brutal y un preocupante recordatorio de cuán frágiles son las sociedades libres. Hoy el bloque soviético es una civilización perdida, cuya crueldad, paranoia, perversa moral y extraña estética logra capturar Applebaun en las fascinantes páginas de este libro.Finalista delNational Book AwardNúmero 1 de los libros de no ficción de 2012 en la revistaTimeLibro destacado deThe New York TimesEntre los 10 mejores libros de 2012 deThe Washington PostMejor libro de no ficción de 2012 enThe Wall Street Journal
