"A fascinating narrative of the life of Milada Horáková, an extraordinary and courageous woman, imprisoned by the Nazis and killed by the Communists. Milada's legacy and the complicated, but inspiring history of the young Czechoslovak democracy of the first half of the century XX remind us that the human desire for freedom and a strong character are more powerful than any totalitarianism".
