Eastern Europe 1740-1985 Feudalism to Communism, Second Edition Robin Okey |
|
|
Traces the development of Eastern European countries, showing their struggle to overcome the legacy of underdevelopment and dependence left by the Turks and the Hapsburgs. "This concise, sprightly work considers some of the common historical traditions in the political awakening of Eastern Europe since the eighteenth century. Informed and thought-provoking." —Library Journal "Insofar as Slovakia may be viewed as an integral part of an Eastern European whole, this book has definite merit. It provides the reader with a concise, refreshing overview of the past two centuries, and the author skillfully employs anecdotal examples to compare and contrast specific national experiences. Okey's book is helpful to the student already well-grounded in general Eastern European history; it can also be useful to the instructor who wishes to convey a certain sense of ideological conflict inherent in the region." —Slovakia 264 pages | 1986 |
