Czechoslovakia in a Nationalist and Fascist Europe, 1918-1948

Cornwall, Mark and Evans, R.J.W. (eds.) (2007) Czechoslovakia in a Nationalist and Fascist Europe, 1918-1948 (Proceedings of the British Academy, 140), Oxford, UK. Oxford University Press, 224pp.

Abstract

Includes contributors from Britain, Czech Republic, USA, and Germany.

This volume presents fresh and original writing on the history of Czechoslovakia, a state neglected in British historiography, but which is vital for understanding Europe after 1918. The country twice lost its independence, firstly to Hitler's Germany and then to Stalin's USSR - events that sent shock waves through the continent.

The fourteen essays deal with four main subject areas: aspects of Czech national society, the Czech-Slovak relationship, the Czech-German relationship, and the British dimension.

This highly accessible volume, containing many new insights, provides major case study material for researchers and students of nationalism, fascism and international relations.
