Praise for this book
Brook penetrates deeply into the interplay of ideas, events, and world history in the making of the 'Velvet Revolution' in Czechoslovakia in 1989. In presenting the most theoretically detailed analysis of this revolution, he provides new insights into the nature of revolutionary conjunctures, and the factors that intervene when revolutionary ideas and state power collide.
