      abstract = {Presenting the history of an unexplored yet significant  institution in East Germany, this book analyses the  development of the Parteihochschule Karl Marx (PHS), a  training institute for Communist party officials and  members of the functional elite. By chronicling the PHS  from its establishment in 1946, the author demonstrates how  it sought to implement Stalins rule, and sheds light on the  activities of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED) in  the German Democratic Republic. The book focuses on the  leadership of Walter Ulbricht and Erich Honecker as First  Secretary and General Secretary of the SED respectively,  and examines key personalities within the PHS. The  activities of party functionaries under the rule of Hanna  Wolf and Kurt Tiedke are scrutinised, revealing the  dogmatic nature of the East German regime. An essential  read for anyone interested in German history and East  European Communism, this book brings to light one of the  key institutions in implementing Stalinism and  Marxism-Leninism in the German Democratic Republic.},
