Camping with the Communists: The Adventures of an American Family in the Soviet Union - Paperback
by Karen Gilden (Author)
The ultimate road trip This inspiring adventure tale follows an American woman and her family as they drive 3,800 miles through the Soviet Union in a VW Camper. Traveling at the height of the Cold War, the Gildens were on their own in the USSR, with no guide and few road signs, following their noses on a unique-in-every-way adventure. Join the family as they struggle with the Soviet bureaucracy, come face to face with the KGB, smuggle a diamond ring, and say "Nyet " to the border guards. Whether you remember the Soviet Union or not, this book is a treat to read-smart, entertaining, and funny. You won't be able to put it down.
Karen loves travel, books, and writing, and has written two travel memoirs and a how-to travel book. She has lived in Turkey and France, but now is at home in central Oregon. You can find her (and her blog) on the web at karengilden.com.
