Streetscapes of War and Revolution
Morelon reconstructs the collapse of the Habsburg Empire as it was experienced on the streets of Prague.
Rationed Life
Far from the battlefront, hundreds of thousands of workers toiled in Bohemian factories over the course of World War I, and their lives were inescapably shaped by the conflict. In particular, they faced new and dramatic forms of material hardship that strained social ties and placed in sharp relief the most mundane aspects of daily life, such as when, what, and with whom to eat. This study reconstructs the experience of the Bohemian working class during the Great War through explorations of four basic spheres—food, labor, gender, and protest—that comprise a fascinating case study in early twentieth-century social history.

Death of the Dark Hero
David Selbourne returned from Bucharest in January 1990 having witnessed the startling events in the overthrow of communism in Eastern Europe. In this book he gives an account of what led up to these political changes, based on discussions with a wide range of men and women, both in power and out. When he began to write his book, he was obliged to disguise the names of his informants to protect them, but in the final chapters their identities are restored as many of them find themselves thrust into the centre stage of political leadership. Selbourne suggests that the transformations which are occurring in Eastern Europe reflect those of the French Revolution, exactly 200 years earlier.
