Czechoslovakia has been at the center of some of the most difficult
and tragic episodes of modern European history: its sacrifice to
Nazi Germany at Munich; the Communist Coup of 1948; and the
military crushing of the Prague Spring. It has also enacted
momentous change almost magically, as in the peaceful overthrow of
communism in 1989, and then the negotiated end to the country in
1992. Czechoslovak history has consequently produced enduring
political metaphors for our times, such as the Velvet Revolution
and Velvet Divorce. The second edition of the Historical Dictionary
of the Czech State has been thoroughly updated and greatly
expanded. Featuring a chronology, introductory essay, appendix,
bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries,
this detailed, authoritative reference provides understandings of
the Czechs as a people; the territory they inhabit; their social,
cultural, political, and economic developments throughout history;
and interactions with their neighbors and the wider world."
