Reviews
"In Democracy's Defenders , Ambassador Eisen has brought to public light an important story of how America's diplomats played a critical role in ending Communism in the former Czechoslovakia and how those efforts gave great momentum to the rise of a democratic Central and Eastern Europe. Vital reading at a time when democracy is being threatened inCentral Europe and when the traditional role of America in the world is being challenged here at home."--Denis McDonough, former White House chief of staff and principal deputy national security adviser
