Pam Urfer's Candlelight Revolution provides a view to daily life in the Cold War. When the Soviet Union began to crumble -- with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 -- the effects of the suffocation and extermination of human thriving that had named the period came into a clearer view for those in the West. But for those in Germany and the Soviet Union, life had been named mean and hard for a long time. Urfer captures the struggles of that daily life in a compelling narrative.
