Description: "From Czechoslovakia's former president comes a unique account of the last two weeks of September 1938, chronicling the country's approach to the Munich pact. Based on newly discovered and previously unpublished manuscripts and augmented with wartime speeches and other important documents, this book recounts the painful experience of the Sudeten Crisis, the Munich Diktat of September 1938, Hitler's invasion of Prague six months later, and the formation of Edvard Benes's government-in-exile."--BOOK JACKET.
