Czechoslovakia's Interrupted Revolution

Meer over het boek

The book offers an in-depth analysis of the transformative events in Czechoslovakia during 1968, a period marked by significant communist reform followed by a swift reversal. H. Gordon Skilling utilizes a wealth of sources, including unpublished documents and interviews, to explore the historical context, key reforms, political dynamics, and international responses. He also delves into the Soviet intervention and the subsequent collapse of the reform movement, ultimately framing the Prague Spring as a revolutionary episode in the broader narrative of communism.
