Between Hammer and Sickle by Mihai Wurmbrand

A fascinating and incredibly insightful account of life as a Christian during the Soviet Union's occupation of Rumania. Mihai Wurmbrand, the son of the famous pastor Richard Wurmbrand, describes his experiences from the time of his parents' arrest when he was nine years old through to his family's final bid for freedom in 1965.

With perceptive intelligence, a visionary faith and and a sense of humour which finds the funny side in the darkest things, he tells of his struggle to survive as a young adult in a country oppressed by fear, injustice, bureaucracy and atheism brought on by the radical, and ultimately ridiculous, Communist system. It is also a tale of the Underground Church, its suffering and its faith, and how even in a time of great persecution Christians refused to be silent. It is a tale of a country's youth forced to adapt and fit in to a ruthless and barbaric regime or else forfeit their future, their families and even their lives.

And the scariest thing about this book is that it is true. This happened. It was a real-life, 20th century dystopia of which most of the world remained ignorant. How was this allowed to happen? And if it was allowed to happen once, what's stopping it from happening again?
