Krátky popis
This book, the most thoroughly researched and accurate history of
Czechoslovakia to appear in English, tells the story of the country
from its founding in 1918 to partition in 1992 - from fledgling
democracy through Nazi occupation, Communist rule, invasion by the
Soviet Union to - at last - democracy again. The common Western
view of Czechoslovakia has been that of a small nation which was
sacrificed at Munich in 1938, betrayed to the Soviets in 1948 and
which rebelled heroically against the repression of the Soviet
Union during the Prague Spring of 1968. Mary Heimann dispels these
myths and shows how intolerant nationalism and an unhelpful sense
of victimhood led Czech and Slovak authorities to discriminate
against minorities, compete with the Nazis to persecute Jews and
Gypsies and pave the way for the Communist police state. She also
reveals Alexander Dubcek, held to be a national hero and
standard-bearer for democracy, as an unprincipled apparatchik. Well
written, revisionist and accessible, this groundbreaking book
should become the standard history of Czechoslovakia for years to
come.
