These plans, however, have fallen victim to his failing health. Because Return to Diversity continues to stand up well to the test of time, Oxford University Press has chosen to pub- lish a third edition. In this edition, I have occasionally updated earlier chap- ters of the book, and there has been some analytical reinterpretation in Chapter 7, “The Various Endgames.” A new chapter, “The Postcommu- nist Era,” replaces the Epilogue of the second edition. It examines the prob- lems of political transition from Communism in the decade since 1989. In addition, I have significantly expanded the Suggested Readings to include some of the important new research on the region. This wealth of recent publications reflects the increased interest in East Central Europe since the fall of Communism. It is a pleasure to recognize the people who have helped me pre- pare the third edition of Return to Diversity: Melissa Bokovoy, Maria Bucur, David Crowe, István Deák, Rick Frucht, Christine Holden, Charlie Ingrao, Mills Kelly, Padraic Kenney, Jim Niessen, Peter Mentzel, Nick Miller, Elaine Spencer, and Teresa Tickle. I would also like to thank Todd Huebner for designing the maps and Stacie Caminos and Gioia Stevens, my editors at Oxford, for their advice. DeKalb, Illinois N. M. W. February 1999 ix 1822_efm1_i-xiv 9/20/99 11:35 AM Page x Preface to the Second Edition The first edition of this book was published early in 1989—that annus mirabilis of East Central European political history—the year that saw the effective repudiation of Communism by the peoples of the Soviet bloc. Hence a revision has become appropriate and is presented herewith. Nevertheless, I do permit myself to claim that the book’s first five chapters have stood up very well since 1989, requiring only some gram- matical and occasional factual updating in this edition, but no exten- sive structural revision or analytical reinterpretation. I am also gratified to note that my much criticized decision to omit in-depth coverage of East Germany has been vindicated by history, as that soi-disant state has now vanished from the map of Europe. Chapter 6 has been rethought, recast, and restructured. Chapter 7 (“The Various Endgames”) is entirely new, as is the Epilogue. They relate the termination of Communism in each of the area’s countries, analyze the motors of this process in the area as a whole, and speculate about the problematics of the transition to postcommunism. If granted sufficient longevity and health, I would like, in due course, to write a successor book on postcommunist East Central Eu- rope, as an exercise both in contemporary history and in the political- science specialization of systemic transitions. That book would, in ef- fect, round out a trilogy consisting of my East Central Europe Between the Two World Wars (University of Washington Press, 1974), the pres- ent volume, and the contemplated one. New York J. R. January 1993 x 1822_efm1_i-xiv 9/20/99 11:35 AM Page xi Preface to the First Edition The main challenge in writing a basic general survey such as I attempt here is distillation. And distillation inevitably entails the omission or condensation of material that specialists would prefer to include or to develop. But a basic book cannot be a comprehensive chronology, nor a heavily footnoted research monograph, nor a deeply searching analy- sis. While I, too, regret the absence from the following pages of many interesting episodes, important personalities, and suggestive arguments that I would have liked to include, I must nevertheless ask the reader to judge this volume by the criteria that are appropriate to its own genre—that of a general survey—and not by standards alien to it. A word is in order as to why this book does not include a consoli- dated analysis of the political history of East Germany comparable to my extended probing into those of Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria, and Albania. The (East) German De- mocratic Republic is indeed a state, but it is not a nation and is less than half a country. Before World War II it was not even a state (un- like my other cases), but simply a part of Germany and hence not in East Central Europe. Since I view this book as a continuation of my East Central Europe Between the Two World Wars (1974), those are valid reasons for omitting East Germany here. More important, how- ever, is the consideration that East German domestic and foreign pol- itics are so overwhelmingly a part and a function of “the question of divided Germany” on the Great Power agenda, that any serious effort on my part to explore them in this book would have burst its perime- ters and muddied my professional waters. Greece, in turn, is omitted xi 1822_efm1_i-xiv 9/20/99 11:35 AM Page xii xii Preface to the First Edition because it is essentially a Mediterranean, not an East Central Euro- pean, country in its cultural, economic, and political perspectives and because it was not subsumed into the Communist orbit after World War II. Analogous reasons account for the omission of Austria. Finally, the three Baltic republics of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are left out because their brief interwar period of formal independence did not sur- vive World War II. It is conventional for the author of a professional book to list a num- ber of colleagues who have helpfully read all or parts of the prepubli- cation manuscript, to thank them, and to avow a pious acknowledg- ment that any residual flaws and errors are nevertheless the author’s own responsibility and are not to be imputed to these readers. Deem- ing this convention to be saccharine and somewhat hypocritical, I do not abide by it. My expressions of public, and very sincere, gratitude are here reserved for my supportive family; my splendid typist, Audrey McInerney; and the helpful officers of two valued institutions who in- vited, encouraged, and generously subsidized my work: Drs. Enid C. B. Schoettle and Paul Balaran of the International Division of The Ford Foundation and Dr. Jason H. Parker of the American Council of Learned Societies. New York J. R.

    Office of Strategic Services versus Special Operations Executive Competition for the Italian Resistance, 1943–1945 ✣ Tommaso Piffer Drawing on recently declassified records, this article explores the relationship between the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) and the U.S. Office of Strategic Services (OSS)—the wartime intelligence agencies responsible for espionage, subversion, and other covert activities—in the Italian campaign during World War II.1 Until recently, the extensive Anglo-American literature on OSS-SOE rela- tions focused mainly on the two agencies’ wartime activities in the Balkans and France. The Italian theater received relatively little attention.2 The reasons for 1. The official history of SOE in Italy was published in David Stafford, Mission Accomplished (London: Bodley Head, 2011). In English, see also Christopher Woods, “SOE in Italy,” in Mark Seaman, ed., Special Operations Executive: A New Instrument of War (London: Routledge, 2006), pp. 91–102; Charles Delzell, “The American OSS and the Italian Armed Resistance,” in Renzo Amedeo, ed., Le missioni alleate e le formazioni dei partigiani autonomi nella Resistenza piemontese (Cuneo, Italy: L’Arciere, 1980), pp. 353–375; and Julie Le Gac, “From Suspicious Observation to Ambiguous Collaboration: The Allies and Italian Partisans, 1943–1944,” Journal of Strategic Studies, Vol. XXXI, No. 5 (October 2008), pp. 721–742.

Gratitude is also due to my other committee members, Mary Ann Heiss, whose invaluable feedback during a research seminar laid an important cornerstone of this thesis, and Kevin Adams for his participation and valuable input. A rather minor thank you must be rendered to Miss Tanja Petrović, for had I not at one time been well-acquainted with her, the questions of what had happened in the former Yugoslavia during World War II as topics for research seminars would not have arisen.

Despite the axis being massively superior in material terms, sometimes even outnumbering their opponents by six to one, both operations ended in failure as the partisans managed to fight their way out of the German trap. Scholarly research concerning these operations almost exclusively aims to explain their outcome by examining German mistakes, while far less research has been conducted with the intent of examining the outcome of the operations from a partisan perspective. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the partisan success during these operations can be explained by them using the set of methods of force employment which Stephen Biddle calls “the modern system”, and thereby make a first attempt at explaining the outcome of the operations on the tactical and operational level from a partisan point of view. The result of this study shows that the partisan success indeed can be explained by Biddles theory, at least to some extent, but that a more comprehensive study would need to be conducted to fully verify these claims.

The pre-history of the non-aligned movement: India's first contacts with the communist Yugoslavia, 1948-1950 Abstract This article focuses on the pre-history of the Non-Aligned Movement and of the friendship between Pandit Nehru and Tito from Yugoslavia. It explores the various levels of contacts between Indians and Yugoslavs in the second half of the 1940s, among communists, diplomats, United Nations delegation members and participants of a Yugoslav trade delegation to South Asia. Special attention is given to the question of why Yugoslavia was a rather uninteresting or even hostile country to India in the years immediately after the end of World War II, but grew to be an attractive partner in the aftermath of Tito's break with Stalin, when the country tried to survive between the Anglo-American and Soviet blocs.

    126 4 TRIBUTES TO SIR WILLIAM DEAKIN Sir Frederick William Dampier Deakin (1913-2005). Scholar, Christ Church 1931-4 and Honorary Student 1979-2005; Fellow & Tutor, Wadham College 1936- 50, Research Fellow 1949 and Honorary Fellow 1961-2005; Founding Warden, St Antony’s College 1950-67 and Honorary Fellow 1969-2005. Sir William Deakin, the College’s Founding Warden, died on 22 January 2005. We are reproducing here some of the tributes paid to him during the service to celebrate his life which took place in College at 3 pm on Saturday 23 April. ‘Churchill, Deakin and the Making of History’ – by Professor David Dilks ‘A man of great spirit and courage’. Those were the terms in which Keith Feiling wrote from Christ Church to recommend F.W. Deakin to Winston Churchill 70 years ago. All those present today, and a far greater number beyond these shores, will recognise the acuity of a devoted tutor’s judgment. Though he felt shy and nervous in this company, and swiftly discovered that Churchill expected his re- search assistant to be as tough in constitution and concentrated in thought as himself, Bill fitted from the start at Chartwell. Soon we find Churchill writing ‘I like Mr Deakin very much’ and a little later ‘Deakin has been here four days and has helped me a lot. He shows more quality and serviceableness than any of the others.’ Hitherto, Churchill had sought danger and political excitements and had then written about his experience; placing it in the context of larger themes, to be sure, but with his own figure prominent in the foreground.
