Riassunto

This innovative pan-European history of post-war socialism shows the Cold War categories of 'East' and 'West' cannot be projected back onto post-war Europe. By comparing the socialist and social democratic parties in Czechoslovakia, France, Italy, and Poland, it highlights the many similarities across and divergences within the two putative blocs.
