Here is an essential short guide to the history of Eastern Europe
under the early decades of communist rule. The study explores the
communists attempt to transpose a uniform economic and social
system across the region copied from the Soviet model. Dr Fowkes
shows how this did not always succeed and he reveals the local
variations which became more pronounced after the death of Stalin.
The book includes detailed analysis of the dramatic events in
Poland and Hungary and in the assessment section there is a useful
summary of the strengths and weaknesses of the communist model in
its heyday. It is an illuminating study, full of maps and
photographs as well as over 30 documents (most previously
unavailable in English) which brings this complex subject alive.
and helps us to understand the special conditions the people of the
region have faced in catching up with the West both in terms of
material prosperity and more recently in the establishment of
democratic political systems.
