About this book

Covering the period between the Munich Agreement and the Communist Coup in February 1948, this groundbreaking work offers a novel, provocative analysis of the political activities and plans of the Czechoslovak exiles during and after the war years, and of the implementation of the plans in liberated Czechoslovakia after 1945.

Reviews

"Czechs, Slovaks and the Jews, 1938-48 offers a valuable corrective to the complacent view that Czechoslovakia was somehow immune from anti-Semitism. It simultaneously highlights the extent to which Czech anti-Semitism tended to be upstaged by Czech German rivalry. This important contribution will be of interest to students of nationalism, Czechoslovak politics and Jewish history alike." - The Journal of the Historical Association
