Reviews:
  • This work by Janusz Bugajski should be considered manditory reading for any student of Eastern Europe. The anatomy of the dissident movement of Czechoslovakia--its scope, activities, affiliations at home and abroad--has been well documented and presented in a lucid manner. The author has also accumulated an impressive amount of facts, dates, and documents. Failures and successes of Charter 77, as well as its future prospects, are described in a very balanced manner. It is an important study by a well-informed and self-disciplined researcher and expert on Eastern Europe. It will be a great assistance to those interested in recent developments within the Soviet orbit.
