Czechoslovakia and Eastern Europe in the Era of Normalisation, 1969–1989

“Czechoslovakia and Eastern Europe in the Era of Normalisation, 1969–1989 is the editors’ fourth such volume, and perhaps their best yet. This is because the volume’s authors deftly balance the stifling aspects of normalization with the varied colorful experiences of those living in the era. In this, the book succeeds in its mission … . Such a revolution in historical collaboration guarantees a bright future for the field.” (Zachary Doleshal, Austrian History Yearbook, July 12, 2023)
