Alexander Dubcek is well-known, so one might think; nothing new can
be written about him. Is this true? Dubcek is the symbol of the
Czechoslovak attempt to reform communism that gained worldwide
admiration in 1968. The invasion of Warsaw Pact troops in the night
of August 21, 1968 set a brutal end to the Prague Spring. Josette
Baers new biography focuses on Dubceks early years, his childhood
in Soviet Kirghizia, his participation in the Slovak National
Uprising in 1944 against Nazi Germany and the Slovak
clerical-fascist government, and his career in the Slovak Communist
Party in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It offers new insights
into the political thought of the father of Socialism with a Human
Face, based on archive material available to the Western reader for
the first time. Who was Alexander Dubcek -- a naive apparatchik, an
independent thinker, a courageous liberator, or a political
dreamer?
