...path to a cell at the top, first as a hard-drinking guerrilla fighter, then as a brutal apparatchik. Mňačko weaves a picture of a pathetic, subhuman instrument of an inhuman system that ultimately traps and isolates him.

The days--and there could be a whole row of them--when local food plays havoc with one's intestines, and when the kids in English class or the women in nutrition class give the same wrong answer, or no answer at all, for the hundredth time: these are part of anybody's Peace Corps experience.
