The history of this struggle reads like a series of moves in a dramatic chess game, where no one could predict the outcome. Mária Palasik examines this ill-fated conflict to explain how it was possible for the parties to work together in a coalition government, while constantly at odds with each other. Her reconstruction of the debates over the introduction of the law to protect the republic against conspiracy and the politics behind the Hungarian Brotherhood show trial are grounded in her path-breaking research in the archives of the state security agencies. Through the case study of a single country, Chess Game for Democracy makes a major contribution to ongoing debates on the origins of the Cold War in Europe and the process of Sovietization in Central and Eastern Europe, improving our understanding of European history post World War Two and of the reasons for changing relations between the superpowers."--Page 4 of cover. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 1945-1989|2fast 648 7 Geschichte 1944-1947.|2swd 650 7 Politics and government.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1919741 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 651 0 Hungary|xPolitics and government|y1945-1989.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85063081 651 0 Hungary|xHistory|y1945-1989.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh92003908 651 7 Hungary.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1205132 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 700 1 Fenyo, Mario D.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n87851457 776 08 |iPrint version:|aPalasik, Mária.|tChess game for democracy.|dMontréal ; Ithaca : McGill-Queen's University Press, ©2011|z9780773538498|w(DLC) 2011378354 |w(OCoLC)693809713 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=499874|zOnline eBook.
