If I can I will. But I think it is in my storage locker where the bulk of my books are. I believe the book covered both the Hungary and Czech incasions. The title, I think, was something like "The Eagle and The Small Birds". Perhaps authored by someone who witnessed things.

Found it.. Thanks, -- you have a good memory.


The Eagle and the Small Birds: Crisis in the Soviet Empire From Yalta To Solidarity.
Michael Charlton.
Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1985, 192 pp. $14.95
Reviewed by John C. Campbell, Foreign Affairs, Spring 1985

The eagle is the U.S.S.R., the small birds the satellite states of Eastern Europe.
Michael Charlton, a commentator for the BBC, interviews a galaxy of former officials and experts who can speak with authority on what happened at Yalta, on the Sovietization of Eastern Europe, and on the crisis of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Oral history at its best, largely because of Charlton's skillful guidance of the conversations.
