By taking a wide-ranging geographical and chronological perspective, the book identifies salient themes and recurrent patterns of behaviour that played a significant part in determining international relations among Communist states and ultimately contributed to the collapse of Communism. New material on the relationship between nationalism and Communism in Czechoslovakia between 1945 and 1948, and in Lithuania in the 1950s and 1960s, is presented in two case-studies. The book concludes by asking what lessons can be learned from the Communist experience with nationalism.
