This volume has been published to coincide with the anniversaries
of two significant milestones in Czech and Slovak history - the
establishment of communist rule in 1948 and the Prague Spring of
1968 - and in anticipation of the 20th anniversary of the 1989
'Velvet Revolution'. Given the ultimate failure of the communist
system, these events and their legacy for Czech and Slovak society
and politics merit continued study, particularly given the wealth
of new data made available when state and Party archives were
finally opened in the 1990s. The essays in this volume, by
witnesses, historians and social scientists from the Czech Republic
and Slovakia, the USA, UK and Australia offer a reappraisal of
those turbulent events. They present new and original research,
based on information from archives which were not opened until
after 1990 and which is not yet available to audiences who do not
speak Czech or Slovak. This volume will, therefore, be of interest
to both specialists and general readers who are curious to learn
more about these events. This book was published as a special issue
of Europe-Asia Studies.
