In August 1938 George F. Kennan was assigned as Secretary of
Legation in Prague. After the Germans occupied Czechoslovakia in
March 1939, he stayed on in that country when most other Western
observers had left. These diplomatic papers, letters, and notes are
on-the-spot observations by a skilled and sensitive historian and
diplomat. They offer a unique record of one of the tragic events in
modern European history. Depicted here are the attempts at
Germanization of Czech life, the cynical exploitation of various
native organizations, the German insistence on a program of
anti-Semitism, the take-over of Czech business and industry, the
problems of currency and inflation. Originally published in 1968.
The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
