Description
A gripping novel about František Kriegel, who in August 1968 was the only one not to sign the Moscow capitulation. A gripping novel about a man who, under the threat of annihilation, defied the occupying power in August 1968 and was the only one not to sign the humiliating Moscow document. Author Ivan Fíla unfolds a fascinating drama of heroism and betrayal, revealing a detailed look into the lives of doctor and politician František Kriegel and his opponent, the devil's advocate Gustav Husák. We witness the behind-the-scenes intrigues leading up to the fateful night of August 20-21, 1968, the backdrop of the abduction of six Czechoslovak party and government officials to Moscow, and the gradual breaking of characters during the negotiations in the Kremlin. A unique chronicle of time and destinies about the prisoners of dogma and the desires of the Czech and Slovak nations on their journey to hell. The book draws from secret Moscow archives as well as Kriegel's personal notes.
