More about the book

The book offers a fresh perspective on how communist parties in East Central Europe established control over security organizations post-1945, utilizing newly available archival material from Berlin and Bucharest. It examines the purges and personnel policies that shaped this control, arguing that the transition was less radical than commonly perceived. Through a lens of transitional justice, the author reveals the continuity and complexities within the security apparatus during this transformative period.
