Beschreibung
What was Lord Runciman doing in Czechoslovakia just before the infamous Munich Agreement was signed by Britain and France with Hitler's Germany at the end of September 1938, which sealed the fate of Czechoslovakia's 'First Republic'? What was the British government's purpose in sending him here? And what did his wife think about all this? Answers to these questions and more can be found in this book, which is the first to draw from the previously unexplored diary of Hilda Runciman, Lord Runciman's wife. Her diary, which is a unique discovery brought to light by the author, offers – alongside a number of other historical sources and literature – a completely new perspective on the events leading up to 'Munich', one of the most significant moments not only in modern Czechoslovak history but also in world history. Lord Runciman was tasked with negotiating an agreement between the Czechoslovak government and the Sudeten German Party led by Konrad Henlein.
