Spring and Autumn of Czechoslovak Socialism. Czechoslovakia 1938-1968. In 2 volumes

This book examines the history of Czech and Slovak socialism from 1938 to 1968. The first part focuses on the Communist Party's rise to power in Prague in February 1948. Tellingly, this date is considered in the West to be the "official" beginning of the Cold War. But the birth of socialism in Czechoslovakia took place before the war, and the authority of the Communist Party grew stronger during the Second World War, as it was the Communists who formed the core of the anti-fascist resistance. The history of socialism in Czechoslovakia shares common features with the development of this ideology throughout Europe, so that the study of the "spring of Czech socialism" is important for understanding twentieth-century European history as a whole. The second part of the book is devoted to covering the prehistory of the 1968 Prague Spring, which might more correctly be called the Prague Autumn, since it was the beginning of the decline of an old era rather than the birth of something new. Leaving aside the achievements and problems of socialism, we can say that this book is the story of a small country engaged in nation-building while being drawn into a confrontation between two powerful superpowers.
