📢🥁We’re delighted to announce the #2022 winner of the #PollyCorrigan Book Prize
🎉The award goes to Dr Molly Pucci @tcddublin for her brilliant book ‘Security Empire: the Secret Police in Communist Eastern Europe’🎉
See brief laudation below 🧵: ++
ALT Book cover of 'Security Empire: The Secret Police in Communist Eastern Europe' published by Molly Pucci. This book examines the history of early secret police forces in Poland, Czechoslovakia, and East Germany in the aftermath of the Second World War. Molly Pucci delves into the ways their origins diverged from the original Soviet model based on differing interpretations of communism and local histories. She also illuminates the difference between veteran agents who fought in foreign wars and younger, more radical agents who combatted “enemies of communism” in the Stalinist terror in Eastern Europe.
