It is remarkably easy to take revolutionary changes for granted
after the event. Yet, as this fascinating account shows, the
disappearance of communist rule in Eastern Europe was the result of
a conjunction of long-term decay and collapse from within with a
fundamental shift in the second half of the 1980s in the policy of
the Soviet Union. This study sheds light on the dynamics of the
decline of an empire, on the complex interaction of economic,
political and security factors in both domestic and foreign policy
in shaping revolutionary change. It suggests that the East European
states have to contend with a burdensome domestic and foreign
policy legacy far more intractable than many initially assumed as
they redefine their relations with the successor states of the
Soviet Union, and with the rest of Eastern Europe, Europe and the
rest of the world.
