Review

'This highly acclaimed book, which was awarded the 1998 BASEES/Orbis prize, recounts the story of the Prague Spring from the perspective of elite politics. It is particularly important because it draws largely on previously secret files ... and it thereby replaces with fact those passages of earlier scholarly works that were based primarily on conjecture.' Karen Henderson, University of Leicester

'... highly valuable ... demonstrates in a clear-cut way ...' Contemporary European History
