First Edition. 2004. xxvii, 190pp. "From Czechoslovakia's former president comes a unique account of the last two weeks of September 1938, leading up to the Munich pact. Based on a newly discovered and previously unpublished manuscript and augmented with wartime speeches and other important documents, this book recounts the painful experience of the Sudeten Crisis and the formation of a Benes's government-in-exile. Writing not from a pro-Soviet perspective - which he might have done in 1945 - but from the perspective of mid-1941, Benes had put his hope in the decisive victory of the British Empire over Nazi Germany. Milan Hauner provides a detailed introduction and critical annotation based on information found from original manuscripts." Both book and unclipped dust jacket are in excellent condition.
