Editorial Reviews

Written by Russian, German, and Austrian scholars and based on archival findings, these nine case studies shed light on the deportations and resettlement programs in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Germany in the period from 1939 to 1950. The Russian historians examine the policy motives of Stalin and the conflicts among the Communist parties of Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia. The German and Austrian historians analyze the social and psychological aspects of assimilation and adaptation of the refugees in post-war West Germany. The introduction places forced migration in a broad historical context. Distributed by ISBS. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
