Crossing the River: A Memoir of the American Left, the Cold War, and Life in East Germany. Переход через реку: мемуары американских левых, Холодная война и жизнь в Восточной Германии (Victor Grossman, Stephen Wechsler) ; University of Massachusetts Press

What could possibly impel a relatively privileged twenty-four-year-old American-serving in the U. S. Army in Germany in 1952-to swim across the Danube River to what was then referred to as the Soviet Zone? How are we to understand his decision to forsake the land of his birth and build a new life in the still young German Democratic Republic? These are the questions at the core of this memoir by Victor Grossman, who was born Stephen Wechsler but changed his name after defecting to the GDR.
