A History of Czechoslovakia Since 1945, first published in 1989, is a comprehensive account of Czechoslovakia under Communist rule, tracing events from 1945 to 1990. The author focuses on the last twenty years, particularly the Prague Spring, a brief period of liberalization that was followed by harder times. The hope of change faded, and society became paralyzed. Dr. Renner vividly describes the country's fortunes under the Soviet rule of Stalin and Brezhnev and how it pioneered the policy of glasnost during the Prague Spring of 1968. The book concludes with a special look at the influence of Gorbachev's glasnost on the Czechoslovakian regime. Dr. Renner combines a chronological overview with a passionate yet scholarly discussion of underlying political, economic, and cultural issues and developments, making this book invaluable as an authoritative and lucid account of Czechoslovak history and an explanation of the role this country played in shaping modern Europe.
