- This 252-page book is an extended synthesis of new scholarship, structured around highly complex themes and concepts. It covers a huge range of secondary literature and reinterprets it alongside the author’s own archival research on public opinion. Its intellectual rigour and interpretive power, including the novel application of ‘top-down’ and ‘bottom-up’ methodologies, offers readers a richer and more nuanced picture of ordinary people’s experiences of living under the communist regime in Czechoslovakia. By moving beyond crude Cold War stereotypes, it acts as a major catalyst to new ways of thinking about state-society relations in Eastern Europe in the 1945-89 period.
