Reviews

Empire of Friends is beautifully written, and offers an intriguing assessment of the Czechoslovak-Soviet friendship programs that aimed to establish the Soviet Union as a model for the satellite states. Applebaum proves the result was far more complicated, and much more interesting. -- Andrea Orzoff, Associate Professor of History, New Mexico State University, and author of <I>Battle for the Castle</I> Empire of Friends makes an important contribution to our understanding of the everyday relations that developed between the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia during the Cold War. Its detailed and nuanced descriptions of cultural exchanges show how ordinary people participated in the effort to turn the abstraction 'socialist internationalism' into lived reality. -- Lisa Kirschenbaum, Professor of History, West Chester University, and author of <I>International Communism and the Spanish Civil War</I>
