Abstract

IT WAS ONLY SIX WEEKS AFTER the invasion of Czechoslovakia by the five Warsaw Pact countries. A second Preparatory meeting of communist and workers’ parties had been assembled in Budapest to attempt to organise the planned international meeting. The immediate impact of the military intervention on the European communist parties was such that all that could be agreed on at this gathering was to meet again in six weeks.
