Summary:

Kun (history of Central and Eastern Europe, Eotvos Lorand U., Budapest) interviews participants on both sides of the invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 to reveal important details that have not previously been recorded for history. Among them are the Kremlin's role in the election of Dubcek as first secretary, Svoboda's secret contacts in Moscow, and the part Kadar played in events preceding the occupation. The Hungarian original Pragai tavasz--pragai osz was published by Akademia Kiado, Budapest, in 1998. The US distribution is by ISBS. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
