As they battled on the ice, the young players would keep their people's quest for freedom alive, and forge a way to fight back against the authoritarian forces that sought to crush them. From the sudden invasion of Czechoslovakia by an armada of tanks and 500,000 Warsaw Pact soldiers, to a hockey victoryover the Soviets that inspired half a million furious citizens to take to the streets in an attempt to destroy all representations that they could find of their occupiers, Freedom to Win tells a story that ranges from iconic moments in history to courageous individual stories"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Hockey $z Czechoslovakia $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Czechoslovakia $x History $y 1945-1992. 650 0 $a Hockey players $z Czechoslovakia $v Biography. 941 $a 5 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509013647.0 952 $l XEPE697 $d 20240130010443.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230902014152.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230802013408.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20230704011642.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2DF435A01A3011EEAF9CB4AD47ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
