...Than Living On My Knees - Part 2 - Harald Zieger - Bog

In September 1989, Egon Krenz, deputy chairman of the GDR State Council, was sent to Beijing to congratulate China's political leadership personally and on behalf of the SED polite office for successfully suppressing the "Counter-revolutionary uprising," better known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre.
This is the historical background of the story of this book. The military commander refused to follow the order to use lethal force against the protestors marching around churches. The protests increased, and the Communist Government of that part of Germany crumbled. The rest is history.
But as outlined in Part 1 of this historical fiction trilogy, it could have come differently. The Second Row Communists took over. They installed the new Agency Office of Investigation and Recovery (OIR) to secure that takeover.
What would this new Agency actually investigate? And what would it be able to recover? How would the Underground Resistance Movement develop under an additional thread by that new Agency? Are the new Central Committee members really going ahead and executing former powerful members of the Leadership of the Old Guard? And will the execution of these hated former leaders calm down the people's protests and reduce the turmoil in the nation so that the new power can get it under control?
All these questions are answered in Part 2 of the Trilogy.
