Eastern Europe has been in ongoing crisis since the breakup of
the Soviet Union. This important book provides basic, up-to-date
information on the events and background that have led up to the
current crisis, and the volume includes helpful maps and
photographs of key figures and scenes of everyday life. Librarians
will value this reference tool as a reliable, informative source
for students and others trying to understand today's conflicts. The
volume covers all of the countries that formed the colonial empire
of the Soviet Union--Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, the German
Democratic Republic (East Germany), Hungary, Poland, Romania, and
former Yugoslavia.
In an introductory essay, Held begins with an overview of the
region's general characteristics and history prior to 1945. The
volume is then divided into separate sections on each country. Each
section includes basic information about the country, a map, and a
chronology followed by entries, arranged alphabetically, on people,
places, political parties, and the events that have shaped the
country's history since 1945. The book is the only comprehensive
one-volume dictionary on East European personalities, politicians,
and history since 1945.
