Zusammenfassung
Stephen Pinker (1920-- ) is a veteran communist revolutionary, political observer, and intelligence operative whose life has been entangled with the great ideological storms of the twentieth century. As a young idealist, he wandered through the Balkan mountains in the 1940s, where he witnessed firsthand the Albanian peasantry's fierce revolutionary zeal. From the shadows of farmhouses, bunkers, and partisan hideouts, he watched Enver Hoxha rise from a provincial confused militant to the unchallenged architect of Albania's new order.
