It also revisits the communist coup itself and answers the question of why Edvard Beneš succumbed to pressure at a critical moment. The reader will learn how exiles perceived politics, humor, art, sports, and what made playwright Václav Havel's groundbreaking visit to the USA during the Prague Spring so significant. The author worked with unique and previously unknown materials from foreign archives and private collections. PhDr. Martin Nekola, Ph.D. – a political scientist and historian, popularizer of the topic of Czechoslovak exile and compatriots around the world, author of eighteen monographs, hundreds of scholarly studies, and popular science articles, leader of the Czechoslovak Talks project.
