Description

In the latter half of the 20th century, a number of dissidents engaged in a series of campaigns against the Soviet authorities and as a result were subjected to an array of cruel and violent punishments. A collection of like-minded activists in Britain campaigned on their behalf, and formed a variety of organizations to publicise their plight. British Human Rights Organizations and Soviet Dissent, 1965-1985 examines the efforts of these activists, exploring how influential their activism was in shaping the wider public awareness of Soviet human rights violations in the context of the Cold War. Mark Hurst explores the British response to Soviet human rights violation, drawing on extensive archival work and interviews with key individuals from the period. This book examines the network of human rights activists in Britain, and demonstrates that in order to be fully understood, the Soviet dissident movement needs to be considered in an international context. Review "Hurst succeeds ... in providing valuable insights on the dedicated--and often deeply personal--engagement by the British actors. In addition, this work certainly contributes to the research on human rights NGOs and social movements in a British context and would indeed be useful for informing comparative work in other national settings." - American Historical ReviewIt is within Hurst's very cogent narrative that the reader will discover excellent opportunities to draw distinctions between the work of international human rights organizations working against authoritarian states, both historical and contemporary. -Human Rights Quarterly About the Author Mark Hurst is Associate Lecturer in the School of History at the University of Kent, UK.
