National Cleansing examines the prosecution of over one hundred
thousand suspected war criminals and collaborators by Czech courts
and tribunals after the Second World War. As the first
comprehensive history of postwar Czech retribution, this 2005 book
provides a new perspective on Czechoslovakia's transition from Nazi
occupation to Stalinist rule in the turbulent decade from the
Munich Pact of September 1938 to the Communist coup d'etat of
February 1948. Based on archival sources that remained inaccessible
during the Cold War, National Cleansing demonstrates the central
role of retribution in the postwar power struggle and the
contemporary expulsion of the Sudeten Germans. In contrast to
general histories of postwar Czechoslovakia, which portray
retribution as little more than Communist-inspired political
justice, this book illustrates that the prosecution of
collaborators and war criminals represented a genuine, if flawed,
attempt to confront the crimes of the past, including those
committed by the Czechs themselves.
