Dubcek; William Shawcross; Weidenfeld and Nicolson; London, 1970; another journalistic work on the Czechoslovak reform period centered around the biography of Alexander Dubcek. Its primary contribution is the author's original, on-the-spot research concerning Dubcek prior to 1968.

The Czech Black Book, Robert Littell (ed.)' London, 1969; a point-by-point refutation by Czechoslovak reformers of the justifications for the 1968 invasion compiled in the Soviet-sponsored, official White Book.

Why Dubcek Fell; Pavel Tigrid; London 1971, The Czechoslovak Experiment, 1968-69; Ivan Svitek; Columbia University, New York, 1971; two accounts by well-known emigre scholars of the reasons for Dubcek's failure. Both are somewhat introspective, though the contrast in emphasis reveals the soul-searching of Czechoslovak intellectuals.
