The vivid portratal of the "Velvet Revolution" describes the
dramatic social and political changes that heralded the downfall of
the Communist leadership in Czechoslavakia. Bernard Wheaton, one of
the few Western observers in the country during the nonviolent
change of government in November 1989, and Zdenek Kavan, himself a
Czech, interweave firsthand description with interviews of student
leaders, press accounts, and scholarly analysis of the historical
antecedents of the revolution to bring the extraordinary events of
1989 to life. The authors also trace the evolution of change in
Czechoslovakia, weighing the importance of the May 1990 elections
and assessing political and social prospects for the future. The
narrative is enriched with political cartoons and photographs.
