Two Ladies in Minsk

A novella based on true events, Two Ladies in Minsk is the unforgettable tale of the first American women to drive unescorted across the Soviet Union in 1961, at the height of the Cold War. It's a journey of adventure and of fear, as well as self-discovery in the realm of the KGB. But it also is, along their 1,750-mile trek, a story of a Russian people who are as curious about these intrepid Americans as they are about them. Often poignant, always entertaining and sometimes zany, the tale offers oddities only the 1960s delivered. Yet no truly monumental adventure is complete without a grand finale, and this one's a stunner: how two real American ladies, totally unaware at the time, enshrined themselves in the annals of one of the greatest events in history. - Pilar Publishing of California..
