In this new edition of his highly acclaimed work, Jiri Valenta
adds his assessment of Soviet military decisionmaking in the 1980s
to his earlier analysis of decisionmaking and crisis management in
the Soviet bureaucracy and Warsaw Pact. Comparing the events of
1968 to the Kremlin's very different reaction to reforms now under
way in Czechoslovakia and the rest of Eastern Europe, Valenta shows
that Soviet politics were never simple. The USSR's foreign policy
response to the "Prague Spring," he contends, was the result of a
complex political process conditioned by bureaucratic inertia,
coalition politics, and East European pressures.
