In this episode, Red is joined by best-selling author Ruta Sepetys, who has built an international reputation for shining a light into the darkest corners of 20th-century history and telling the stories of ordinary people resisting extraordinary brutality. To date, her five novels have been published in over 60 countries and 40 languages, and all have been recorded as audiobooks read by some of the best narrators in the business. Her latest book, ""I Must Betray You,"" transports us back to Romania in 1989. It’s a world of state-controlled paranoia in which spies are everywhere and personal freedom nowhere. Join Ruta and Red as they discuss how the power of testimony and storytelling can be used to heal the legacy of tyranny, and discover which ""The Sopranos"" actor narrated Ruta’s latest novel.
