Best Nonfiction of 2012: The Wall Street Journal, The Plain Dealer

In the much-anticipated follow-up to her Pulitzer Prize-winning Gulag, acclaimed journalist Anne Applebaum delivers a groundbreaking history of how Communism took over Eastern Europe after World War II and transformed in frightening fashion the individuals who came under its sway. Iron Curtain describes how, spurred by Stalin and his secret police, the Communist regimes of Eastern Europe were created and what daily life was like once they were complete. Drawing on newly opened East European archives, interviews, and personal accounts translated for the first time, Applebaum portrays in chilling detail the dilemmas faced by millions of individuals trying to adjust to a way of life that challenged their every belief and took away everything they had accumulated. As a result the Soviet Bloc became a lost civilization, one whose cruelty, paranoia, bizarre morality, and strange aesthetics Applebaum captures in these electrifying pages.

Pure, non toxic, and it really works!
I just got this and it is amazing! I am 56 and my skin that used to be oily is now like fish scales even using a shower water filter. I have been using oils and they do not help. I know now that oil just helps retain moisture but post menopause skin needs to be hydrated. One application and my skin is glowing and silky again and there is no strong scent. Amazing, pure, and fairly priced product! Will be continuing to use this. I only wish it came in an 8-12oz size but I just ordered two.

Overall really good product
Melts into your skin. My skin clears up much faster after a breakout. Smells good (in my opinion). Love the glass jar. I got it mid August and still have about a months supply left so it last awhile and I use morning and night. A little goes a long way. Skin always looks better when I wake up. My only complaint is if I don’t let this soak in for a bit before going outside or being active it sweats out really bad.

I use this every day on my face and body
I have this in my subscriptions because it works so well and makes my skin feel so soft. It's a very good quality product but it is whipped. I didn't know that till it first came

Temus has better beef tallow skin cream..
* Got much better results from a temu beef tallow/manuka honey skin cream... the temu one is creamer and less dense, so it spread and immediate melts/absorbs right into your skin... next morning results much better in temu product.. ama,ons is pasty and greasey, doesn't absorb like the temu one... doesn't feel good on skin... temu soaks right up into your skin like a sponge.. no greasy feel... just smooth skin... i ordered temu's again...
