Description
The Prague Spring in Brno and the occupying troops landing at the airport in Tuřany. Brno occupied, penned by the duo of historians Alexander Brummer and Michal Konečný, continues the previous three successful historical guides to the South Moravian metropolis: Nazi Brno (1939—1945), Stalinist Brno (1948—1953), and Reckoning Brno (1945—1946). On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the August occupation, it will recall places and phenomena associated with the democratization process, the arrival and stay of Soviet soldiers, and last but not least, the creeping onset of normalization. The readers will be taken to places where innocent people died in August 1968 and 1969, where protests against societal resignation took place, or where decisions about the city's future were made. The graphically appealing publication includes a clear map and a number of period photographs from the tumultuous years of 1968—1969.
