In the lush Hungarian countryside where he grew up, Julius Gyula F???bos fully expected to run the family farm one day. But after the communist takeover in 1945, his family, like other hardworking farmers of Hungary, were labeled Kul???ks and became more and more persecuted as enemies of society. A series of shocking events followed for the F???boses, including the author and his father's arrest, torture, imprisonment, and confinement in slave labor camps. In a compelling memoir that details not only his dramatic personal history but also reveals the largely unknown plight of his fellow Kul???ks, F???bos narrates his turbulent journey from a peaceful boyhood on the farm through the dangers of WWII and the increasing terrors of Stalinist oppression, climaxing with the Hungarian Revolution and a risky escape to a new life in America.
