Central Europe Since 1945 by Paul G Lewis

Central Europe Since 1945 by Paul G Lewis

Central Europe - here, Poland, the German Democratic Republic, Czechoslovakia and Hungary - is at the centre of international attention since the Soviet collapse. An understanding of its postwar history is critical to an appreciation of the challenges facing its present rulers. This is an engrossing account of the installation, development, operation and eventual downfall of its (very different) communist regimes, and the transition to the freedoms and uncertainties of the post-Soviet world. The book covers political, economic, social and cultural change, emphasising the crucial relationships with the USSR throughout.

'This is a useful volume for advanced undergraduates'

Slavonic Review

'Informative, wide-ranging and colourful; this is in other words, a very readable, if demanding book, which will reward the non-specialist reader of central Europe since the Second World War'
