Eastern Europe, 1740-1985 (Electronic book text)

The revised edition of this unique one volume history of Eastern Europe has a considerably extended final chapter, taking events up to 1985. The bibliography has been rewritten and extended, and the chronology revised and brought up to date. Organized around the twin themes of modernization and nationalism, the book offers a concise but comprehensive historical survey of territories between the Baltic and the Aegean, occupied by Modern Poland, Czecholsovakia, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Albania, from 1740 to the present. Dr Okey guides the student through a notoriously complex pattern of events and regions with great clarity, and provides a stimulating interpretation of the period.
