Extensive sections address ethnic strife in Czechoslovakia, the rise of coalition government in Hungary, the calculated retreat of Albania's communist regime, and the ousting of old-line leaders in Bulgaria and Romania. A new epilogue considers how far the heirs of East Central Europe have come and warns of dilemmas and complications that may arise in the near future.
