Forging Political Compromise: Antonín Svehla and the Czechoslovak Republican Party, 1918-1933

Historians have long claimed Czechoslovakia between the world wars as an island of democracy in a sea of dictatorships. Miller pieces together the story of the party and its longtime leader, Antonín Svehla- the "Master of Compromise," who had an extraordinary capacity to mediate between political parties, factions, and individual political leaders.

Riassunto

The reasons for the survival of democratic institutions in the Czechoslovak First Republic have never been fully explained. Drawing on information from European archives, Miller pieces together the story of the party and its longtime leader, Antonin Svehla, who had an extraordinary capacity to mediate between parties, factions, and leaders.
