The leader of the Soviet Communist Party, Leonid Brezhnev, was initially reluctant to use military force and tried to pressure his counterpart in Czechoslovakia, Alexander Dubcek, to crack down. But during the summer of 1968, after several months of careful deliberations, the Soviet Politburo finally decide that military force was the only option left. 410 0$aHarvard Cold War studies book series. 606 $aWorld politics$y1965-1975 607 $aCzechoslovakia$xHistory$yIntervention, 1968 607 $aCzechoslovakia$xPolitics and government$y1968-1989 607 $aCzechoslovakia$xForeign relations$y1945-1992 615 0$aWorld politics 676 $a943.704/2 701 $aBischof$b Gu?nter$f1953-$0434731 701 $aKarner$b Stefan$f1952-$01633111 701 $aRuggenthaler$b Peter$f1976-$01666051 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808590503321 996 $aThe Prague Spring and the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968$94063044 997 $aUNINA
