In this wide-ranging account, Ivan Berend traces the post-war
fortunes of the countries lying between Germany and the former
Soviet Union. Professor Berend draws both on his academic expertise
and personal involvement in many of the events which he describes
to produce a synthesis of a huge array of materials. His study
stretches beyond the confines of economic history to provide
insights into the complex interplay of ideological, social and
political forces in the 'Eastern Bloc' countries over the last
fifty years of revolutionary change. In particular Berend's
analysis of totalitarianism, the development of nationalism, and
the personalities at the centre of political life in eastern Europe
offers an alternative perspective on the economies of the
state-socialist regimes at the periphery of the western
industrialised world.
