Comparing the events of 1968 to the Kremlin's very different reaction to reforms now under way in Czechoslovakia and the rest of Eastern Europe, Valenta shows that Soviet politics were never simple. The USSR's foreign policy response to the \"Prague Spring,\" he contends, was the result of a complex political process conditioned by bureaucratic inertia, coalition politics, and East European pressures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jiri Valenta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801841178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801841170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.05h x 6.05w x 0.63d","brand":"Jiri Valenta","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48658929320191,"sku":"9780801841170","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/soviet-intervention-in-czechoslovakia-1968-jiri-valenta-9780801841170","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
