دانلود کتاب Varšavská smlouva 1985-1991. Dezintegrace a rozpad

The monograph Warsaw Pact 1985–1991: Disintegration and Dissolution analyzes the last phase of the existence of the organization, based on unusually large-scale archival research conducted in many countries. The focus is placed on the changes in its functioning after Mikhail Gorbachev came to power in the Soviet Union. It is the first comprehensive attempt to examine the role played by the Warsaw Pact in the final stage of the Cold War, as well as the deepening conflicts between individual member states resulting from the dynamic change of the international situation and Gorbachev’s initiative, seeking to reform the East European state-socialist dictatorships. Finally, the book is devoted to the hitherto only scarcely explored reasons and the course of the dissolution of the organization in the early 1990s.
