"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" ; "Assesses the British response to Soviet human rights
violation in the period 1965-1985"
