Czecho-Slovakia,: A critical history
(Communism dis not come suddenly to Czecho-Slovakia in Feb...)
Communism dis not come suddenly to Czecho-Slovakia in Feburary, 1948. The "February Revolution" of that year was the inevitable outgrowth of a tragedy which had its roots in the denial of self-determination to the Sudeten Germans and Slovaks after World War I and its climax in the alliance which Dr. Benes made with the Soviets during World War II. In writing: Czecho-Slovakia: A Critica History, Kurt Glaser has searched primary sources in order to assemble the facts about an area which has always been a key to Central Europe. Citing Czech, Slovak and German documents, he shows that almost half the citizens of Czecho-Slovakia were denied the full benefits of the famed "model democracy," and that attempt to maintain Czech hegemony over the non-Czech peoples intensified the nationality tensions which has wrecked the old Austro-Hungarian monarchy. The text is supplemented by eight pages of photographs and by two specially prepared maps. Drawing on firsthand accounts and on material collected in interviews with exes in both America and Europe, Dr. Glaser shows how Benes and his information minister, Ripka, sold the Czech birthright to freedom to the Kremlin ignored to secure a return to office (though not to power). He tells how the Russians engineered the Prague "revolt" of 1945 in order to prevent the emergence of a conservative Czech government, and he gies a detailed account of the expulsion of the Sudeten Germans, a measure which gave the Kremlin a political mortgage on Czcho-Slovakia. The last four chapters of the book are devoted to events since 1948 and to current problems confronting American policy makers. The dynamics of a "people's democracy" and of Czecho-Slovakia's role in Russian strategy are analyzed, and proposals are made for American policies directed toward the liberation of the Czechs, Slovaks, and other enslaved peoples without recourse to a third world war.
