Czechoslovakia Between Stalin and Hitler - The Diplomacy of Edvard Benes in the 1930s

Zusatztext The literature on the crisis leading to the Munich agreement of 1938 is immense. This book by Igor lukes is a useful addition primarily because of the author's extensive use of archives in Prague, including some hitherto either closed to research, utilized only by selected scholars adhering to the Communist Party line, or not considered at all. Lukes has combed them all with care. Klappentext This is a diplomatic history of events leading up to the Munich crisis in 1938 in which Great Britain and France decided to appease Hitler's demands to annex the Sudetenland. While much has been written on this period! this book will be the most comprehensive to date and also the first to integrate a full understanding of the Czech role with wider events.
