Operation Danube Reconsidered

More about the book

The 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia by Warsaw Pact forces marked a pivotal moment in Cold War history, abruptly ending the liberalization efforts led by Alexander Dubček. This book explores the international implications of the crisis, examining how it not only stifled reform in Czechoslovakia but also affected the cohesion of the communist bloc and shaped Soviet foreign policy. By bringing together diverse experts, it aims to reignite discussions on the Prague Spring, its causes, developments, and lasting effects within a broader global context.
