Informationen zum Autor Liesbeth van de Grift is a Dutch historian and postdoctoral researcher at Utrecht University.    Klappentext In Securing the Communist State, Liesbeth van de Grift provides a new understanding of these organizations using recently disclosed material from the communist archives in Berlin and Bucharest. She reveals how these communist parties gained control over the security apparatus after 1945 in East Central Europe from a transitional justice perspective, focusing on purges and personnel policies. This book shows that the personal break after 1945 was not as radical as is often thought. Inhaltsverzeichnis Contents Chapter 1. Introduction Chapter 2.
