Reviews / Votes
'Karen Henderson's new book is the best introduction to contemporary Slovak history, politics, international relations, and macroeconomics available in the English language. The Escape from Invisibility sheds dazzling light on a country long obscured by its larger Czech neigbour ... a billiant country study packed with judicious and refreshing analyses. It is to be highly recommended to all students of European politics, as well as to specialists on post-communist transition and contemporary Czecho-Slovak history.' - Journal of Contemporary European StudiesMore details
