Central And Eastern Europe de John Dornberg

Central And Eastern Europe

Autor John Dornberg
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 oct 1995
John Dornberg explores the drama of the disintegration of Communist Eastern Europe and the painful emergence of new regimes. The author, a professional journalist who has served as bureau chief for Newsweek in Bonn, Vienna, and Moscow, brings an exciting dimension and an insider's perspective to the unfamiliar political systems and complex foreign relations of these nations. This outstanding and timely study covers Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Albania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and the five Yugoslav successor states.
