Contents Summary
In October 1961, Khrushchev ordered the removal of Stalin's body from the Red Square Mausoleum and hopes for a new freedom, justice and independence were aroused throughout the Soviet Union and its satellite states. Seven years later, these hopes were crushed when the Soviet Army invaded Czechoslovakia. Anatole Shub, an eminent American journalist, discusses how and why this happened. He recounts at first hand such dramatic incidents as Khrushchev's courtship of Tito, the trial of the Bulgarian United Nations delegate as a C.I.A. agent; Chou En-lai's weird visit to Rumania; the confrontation between Brezhnev and Dubcek at a railway men's club in Cierna-nad-Tisou; and the trials of young Russian democrats who bravely demonstrated against the Red Army invasion of Czechoslovakia.
Combining eyewitness observation with expert research, Mr. Shub explains why Khrushchev encouraged, and his successors persecuted, such writers as Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Andrei Voznesensky; why Rumanian Communists behave like Rumanians; why East Germany needs the wall; why Yugoslavia has gone its own way towards an open society while once-liberal Poland has been driven to harass Catholic bishops and Jewish intellectuals alike -- from the publisher.
