Description

Czechoslovakia: A Nation that Failed This comprehensive history of Czechoslovakia tells the story of its complex and often tumultuous past. From its founding in 1918 to its partition in 1992, Mary Heimann's book explores the country's journey through democracy, occupation, and repression. Heimann challenges common perceptions of Czechoslovakia, revealing a more nuanced picture of intolerance and nationalism that led to the persecution of minorities and paved the way for authoritarian rule. A well-researched and accessible account, this book offers a fresh perspective on one of Europe's most fascinating countries. Well-written and revisionist, Heimann's book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of Czechoslovakia's history, providing a new standard for years to come.
