Description
The publication provides readers with an outline of key events in Czechoslovak politics after the end of World War II, culminating in the communist coup in February 1948, which resulted in a forty-year rule of a single party. The author analyzes the causes of the collapse of the democratic system in Czechoslovakia and then focuses on a detailed analysis of the critical events of those February days. The account is richly supplemented with period documents of both institutional and personal nature, including reports from informants, letters, and records of conversations with key figures in political life, to which the author offers detailed commentary and assesses the roles played by individual actors, whether from democratic parties or the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, in establishing the communist regime in the Czechoslovak Republic. Some documents are presented to the public for the very first time.
