Bela Suhayda and his family have enjoyed a prosperous life in the United States. But that prosperity and freedom only came about because of his parents’ strong commitment, and a willingness to risk their lives to make it happen.
From Tyranny to Liberty tells a compelling family history, but also serves as an excellent reference for anyone looking to discern the differences between living in a free society, and living under strict communist control. It provides a glimpse into what really happened in Russian controlled territories following the end of World War II. This is a book those interested in both the past and the future of our great country will want to read.
