Sommario/riassunto

<span><span>This book explores Socialist economic and military cooperation by presenting a complete branch, the military industry, from the perspective of a smaller member nation, Hungary. It demonstrates that military industry cooperation played a prominent role in the development of economic cooperation within the Soviet Bloc, and it was in this sector that the strongest, most efficient integration was established.<br /></span></span>
