Krátky popis
Throughout the Second World War, the Czechoslovak
Government-in-Exile broadcast over the BBC from London, hoping to
reach out to their former compatriots living in a divided and
occupied Europe. As the only way of projecting their authority,
President Beneš and his colleagues relied on the radio as a stage
on which to perform as the government they wished to be,
representing a Czechoslovak state they hoped to recreate after the
war. Despite a ban on listening to foreign broadcasts in the
German-occupied Protectorate and Slovakia, many tuned in to hear
‘London calling’ and the broadcasts provided the strongest
connection between the London Czechoslovaks and the audience at
home. This work examines this government programme for the first
time, making use of previously unstudied archival sources to
examine how the exiles understood their mission and how their
propaganda work was shaped by both British and Soviet influences.
This study assesses the strengths, weaknesses, and limitations of
the government’s radio propaganda as they navigated the
complexities of exile, with chapters examining how they used the
radio to establish their own authority, how they understood the
past and future of a Czechoslovak nation, and how they struggled to
include Slovakia and Subcarpathian Ruthenia within it.
