Socialism With a Human Face or With Goose Pimples? - Karel Tynsky
An account by a Czech journalist of the trials convenved to punish those who took part in the protests of the Prague Spring.
Czechoslovakia 1968: What socialism? What human face? - Petr Cerny
Excellent pamphlet from Solidarity with a critique of the myth of the Prague Spring. It recounts the internal struggles in the Czech Communist Party as the technocrats outmanoeuvre the dogmatists, and the working class do not show their potential until the Soviet invasion. Contains a postscript on the anti-intellectual ideas of Jan Machajski by Paul Avrich.
