Revolution And Resistance in Eastern Europe Challenges to Communist Rule

Covering East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Poland and Romania, this book provides comprehensive critical analysis of the varying forms of dissent in the East European socialist states. The authors take a comparative approach and show how the different movements affected one another. Incorporating archival material only accessible since 1989, they discuss issues such as the diverse manifestations of non-conformity among different strata of the population, the complex relationship between Moscow and the national Communist Parties, the loosening of Soviet control after 1985, and everyday resistance to state authority.Stibbe, Matthew is the author of 'Revolution And Resistance in Eastern Europe Challenges to Communist Rule', published 2007 under ISBN 9781845202583 and ISBN 1845202589.
