After the death of Stalin in 1953, a new era began for the Communist countries of Eastern Europe. This book is a study of the reaction against Russian hegemony which followed his death and the subsequent emergence of new liberalizing and nationalistic trends. Part I concentrates on the political development in the People`s Democracies (Albania, Bulgaria,
Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Rumania and Yugoslavia) and analyses the significance of the Hungarian revolution of 1956, the Warsaw Pact, Yugoslav revisionism, China`s rise to power and the Moscow-Peking conflict, the fall of Kruschev and the `springtime of Prague`.
Part II covers domestic politics, economic reforms, agriculture and planning, development of social structures and the lure of the West, with a sharp look at the discontent of the intellectuals and the confrontation of Marxism with science, education, the Church and youth. A postscript on the recent events in Poland brings the reader up to date.
Frangois Fejtö was born in Hungary in 1909 and became one of the country`s leading journalists. He joined the circle of anti-fascists who opposed the alliance with Hitler`s Germany, and became co-editor of the socialist journal Nepszava and the literary review Szep Szo. Eventually he was forced to leave Hungary and he took refuge in France where for the last twenty years he has been correspondent in charge of foreign affairs for Agence France-Presse.
He is one of Europe`s leading analysts of Communist affairs and is the author of several books on Eastern Europe. His erudition, energy and searching regard for truth compel the reader`s attention.
