Críticas:
“This new book on communist Czechoslovakia reveals the extent to which we have moved away from the passions of the Cold War to analyses founded on archives rather than ideologies. ... This book would serve well for anyone seeking an entry point into the complex world of Soviet-style communism in post-war Europe.” (David Gerlach, European History Quarterly, Vol. 48 (3), July, 2018)
“This book should serve as the definitive introduction to the period for all newcomers, as well as an indispensable reference for country experts.” (Kieran Williams, SEER - Slavonic and East European Review, Vol. 94 (3), July, 2016)
“McDermott’s work should inspire further research into people’s understanding of, and relationship to, Czechoslovak Communism over time. In addition to being a first-rate introductory text for graduate students and advanced undergraduates, McDermott’s impressive book has neatly consolidated an agenda for scholars in the field.” (Chad Bryant, Journal of Modern History, Vol. 90 (2), June, 2018)

Few Europeans in the twentieth century have been subject to the repeated buffetings by foreign powers, ideologically driven transformations and internal upheaval of the Czechs and the Slovaks. The period of Communist rule was complex, and those who gleefully overthrew the regime in 1989 were the very grandchildren of those who had voted for Communism with hope in the free elections of 1946.
This concise account includes both political and social history, analysing half a century of Communism from at all strata of society. Kevin McDermott is equally intrigued by those in power and ordinary citizens, asking what motivates a young Czech worker-believer to join the Communist Party in the early 1950s, enrol in the People's Militia and remain in the party during the dark years of 'normalisation', yet end up welcoming the tearing down of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
Using Czech and Slovak archival sources and the most recent historiography, McDermott challenges the still dominant 'totalitarian' paradigm and argues that the forty year communist experience in Czechoslovakia cannot simply be dismissed as a Soviet-imposed aberration.

This concise history gives an account of the political, cultural and social trends in Czechoslovakia from 1945 to 1989. With a focus on ordinary citizens, it is an essential contribution to the modern history of a country that is sure to play a key role in the 'new Europe'.
