Josef Korbel, whose career encompasses both scholarly and
diplomatic roles, presents a crisp, up-to-date survey of postwar
relations between East and West. Seeking analytic, reasoned answers
to the question of detente, he discusses in detail the changes in
mood, policy, and practice that have occurred and are occurring.
What exactly does rapprochement mean to the U.S.S.R., the U.S.,
East and West Europe? Is its primary objective the relaxing of
tension or the achievement of security? the expansion of national
interests? ideological conversion? reduction of Soviet influence?
What have been the practical results of the policy of detente in
the political, economic, and cultural spheres? What are the
"realities" of the situation? Are the Western and Eastern blocs
willing to consider a general European settlement? What effect did
the Czechoslovak invasion have? What of the future? The heart of
Mr. Korbel's discussion is the cornerstone of a detente edifice,
West Germany's Ostpolitik, her rapprochement strategies. His
reasonable conclusion looks to the future: the assets, dangers, and
prospects of detente for the peace-keeping of Europe. Originally

From the fateful days of the Munich crisis in September 1938 to the
final coup in February 1948, the Communists gradually infiltrated
Czechoslovakia. This is the record of that tragic conquest, written
by the former head of Jan Masaryk's Cabinet in the Czechoslovak
Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Mr. Korbel reveals the gradual erosion
of all areas of the nation's life-political, economic, cultural,
military, social-by Communist techniques. He traces the hopeless
attempts at coexistence on the part of such democratic statesmen as
Edvard Benes and Jan Masaryk, as they tried to negotiate with such
Communists as Klement Gottwald and Stalin himself. The campaign of
infiltration followed a preconceived plan, first capturing the mind
through persuasion and protestations of nationalism, freedom,
democracy; then moving inexorably from the local to the national
level, in labor unions, political organizations, channels of
communication, the police, the army, the government. This is a
moving and objective record of an important event in modern
history, and a revealing case study of the Communist capture of a
country. Mr. Korbel has based his account on interviews with
participants, on unpublished memoirs and documents, on Communist
materials published after their seizure of power, and on his own
firsthand knowledge and experience. Originally published in 1959.

Though Russia and Germany were far apart in their principal goals,
their negative attitude toward the Europe of Versailles brought
these two "outcasts" together. Poland, a "child" of the Versailles
Peace Treaty, was a bar to the Soviet drive toward a revisionist
policy. Therefore, in an atmosphere of mutual distrust and deceit,
Russia and Germany entered into an intricate series of negotiations
designed to destroy Poland either by military action or by
diplomatic pressure. Josef Korbel traces the strange course of
these negotiations, basing his work on original documents such as
the files of the German Foreign Office, the personal papers of
General von Seeckt, documents of the Soviet government, the Supreme
Soviet, and the Third International, and on original Polish
sources. Originally published in 1963. The Princeton Legacy Library
