Krátky popis
On returning from Germany on 30 September 1938 after his agreement
with Hitler on the carve-up of Czechoslovakia, Neville Chamberlain
addressed the British crowds: 'My good friends... I believe it is
peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.Go
home and get a nice quiet sleep.' Winston Churchill commented: 'You
have chosen dishonour and you will have war.' P.E. Caquet's history
of the events leading to the Munich Agreement and its aftermath is
told for the first time from the point of view of the peoples of
Czechoslovakia. Basing his account on countless previously
unexamined sources, including Czechoslovakian press, memoirs,
private journals, military plans, parliamentary records, film and
radio, Caquet presents one of the most shameful episodes in modern
European history in a tragic new shape.Among its his most explosive
revelations is the strength of the French and Czechoslovak forces
before Munich. Germany's dominance turns out to have been an
illusion. The case for appeasement never existed.The
Czechoslovakian authorities were Cassandras in their own country,
the only ones who could see Hitler's threat for what it was. In
Caquet's devastating account, their doomed struggle against
extinction and the complacency of their notional allies finally
gets the memorial it deserves
