Will to Freedom is an eyewitness account of the social and political upheaval that shook Eastern Europe from the mid-1930s to the mid-1960s. As an underground resistance fighter; political prisoner; fugitive; and Communist Party official; Egon Balas charts his journey from idealistic young Communist to disenchanted dissident. Attracted by its anti-Nazi stance; Balas joined the Hungarian Communist Party in 1942; after Hungary had entered the war on Hitler's side. He helped organize work stoppages and distributed antiwar leaflets. In his memoir; he offers a compelling account first of his eventual imprisonment and ordeal under torture and then of his escape and life in hiding.

Review
8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Readable and InformativeBy Herman M. Winkels Jr.An excellent addition to the studies of American History and the role of collaborative action to advance the plight of ethnic groups. I wanted to highlight almost all of the quotations. Wilder has a lovely way of making sense of dense detail and making his analysis readable.
