"The true charm of Mr. Longo's book, and its greatest historical value, lies in his accounts of ordinary citizens--mostly East German--who sought to throw off their Communist shackles by fleeing west at great personal peril. We also owe him a debt for resuscitating the Picnic, now "largely omitted from history books, pushed aside by the macroscopic politics of the end of the Cold War."", A fascinating reconstruction of the extraordinary moment in 1989, when the spontaneous actions and inactions of a few individuals made history swing wide open on its hinges. With the gifts of a fine documentarian, Longo makes that great moment of collective hopes newly vivid, and the extent to which those hopes remain unfulfilled freshly urgent., Matthew Longo's writing reanimates the heady days of freedom of 1989 and reflects on what was missed in that extraordinary year, on how inarticulate solidarities have since eroded to the detriment of everyone, and on how confining walls could fall even as durable institutions of freedom were not built in their place., This little gem of a book tells the story of . . . a key Cold War moment . . . Longo's vivid narrative captures the tension of the moment . . . an intensely moving story that explores the nature of freedom., Full of insight and empathy. intimate and compelling, The Picnic is beautifully written and ingeniously plotted. Like all the best books about the past, it brings the present compellingly to life., Blending oral history and political theory (including cameos by Plato and Isaiah Berlin), Longo recounts the drama in a vivid, fast-paced narrative., A pivotal - and exhilarating - moment in late 20th-century history . . .

The narrative is spiked with Longo's commentary and anecdotes from his trips, making The Picnic a deeply personal account of a fascinating milestone of Cold War history., The most brilliant history allows an experience either forgotten or missed to feel close and vivid--as if we were there. Longo's writing reanimates the heady days of freedom of 1989 and reflects on what was missed in that extraordinary year, on how inarticulate solidarities have since eroded to the detriment of everyone, and on how confining walls could fall even as durable institutions of freedom were not built in their place., A terrific work of history that also becomes a meditation on what freedom means and how tyrannies fall., [A] brisk and engaging account, told in a lively blend of novelistic narration and reportage and featuring interviews with a number of people closely involved in these historic events...It's an uplifting tale, but Longo takes care not to oversentimentalize it., A compelling, poignant, beautifully textured retelling of the collapse of communism in Central Europe through the personal ordeals, trepidations, longings, and disenchantments of its participants--culminating in a heartfelt rethinking of the meaning of 1989 for the world today., A fascinating reconstruction of the extraordinary moment in 1989, when the spontaneous actions and inactions of a few individuals made history swing wide open on its hinges.
