...instant of fear and incredulity. The event, though discussed and weighed as a possibility, had seemed unlikely. After all, it was 15 years after Stalin's death, twelve years after Hungary. The West had come to accept the "new maturity" of Russia's leaders. The relative liberalization of Soviet society and the increasing autonomy of Moscow's erstwhile satellites in Eastern Europe had also been taken for granted as an irreversible reaction to the harsh rigidities of the Stalinist past.

...Pact troops throttled the infant independence of a state that had reiterated its fidelity to Moscow and Communism. To retain its grip on Eastern Europe?perhaps only for a few years more?the Soviet Union had sacrificed much of its influence among Communist parties elsewhere.

In fact, "last summer, when Moscow began to sling mud at me, I threw my Soviet passport in the fire."

...birth, a Communist and Russian by inclination, Rokossovsky commanded 1,000,000 men at one point, and though his losses were staggering, inflicted such casualties on the Wehrmacht that the entire course of the war was changed. Somewhat less glorious was his conduct in August 1944, when, under Stalin's orders, he refused aid to the embattled Poles during the Warsaw uprising, stood blandly by while the Germans destroyed much of the city...
