Praga 1968. La “Primavera” e la sinistra italiana
The book of the university researchers Francesco Anghelone and Luigi Scoppola Iacopini, entitled “Prague 1968. The “Spring” and the Italian left, with a preface by Antonio Iodice, wants to help shed new light on one of the events that has most marked the European history of the twentieth century, and that even today, remains engraved in collective memory. That particular moment known in history as the “Prague Spring”, when in August 1968 the troops of the Warsaw Pact, intervened to militarily occupy Czechoslovakia and suppress the intellectual, political and popular movement calling for greater individual freedoms, and the ability to give life to what the Communist leader of Czechoslovakia, Alexander Dubček, called “socialism with a human face”. The book traces the events, while confronting them from the perspective of the Italian left, explaining the positions taken by Italian socialists and communists regarding the Czechoslovakian tragedy.
