The Warsaw Pact is generally regarded as a mere instrument of
Soviet power. In the 1960s the alliance nevertheless evolved into a
multilateral alliance, in which the non-Soviet Warsaw Pact members
gained considerable scope for manoeuvre. This book examines to what
extent the Warsaw Pact inadvertently provided its members with an
opportunity to assert their own interests, emancipate themselves
from the Soviet grip, and influence Soviet bloc policy. Laurien
Crump traces this development through six thematic case studies,
which deal with such well known events as the building of the
Berlin Wall, the Sino-Soviet Split, the Vietnam War, the nuclear
question, and the Prague Spring. By interpreting hitherto neglected
archival evidence from archives in Berlin, Bucharest, and Rome, and
approaching the Soviet alliance from a radically novel perspective,
the book offers unexpected insights into international relations in
Eastern Europe, while shedding new light on a pivotal period in the
Cold War.
