About this product
Product Information
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.

Included are a chronology (seventh centuryBCE to April 2009), two maps, an 18-page introduction focused on Czech history, four appendixes that include items such as dates and names of governing officials and the human rights document ?Text of Charter 77,? and a 39-page bibliography organized bytime period (e.g., ?Foundation of Czechoslovakia?) and theme (e.g., ?Music?). The bibliography also notes key journals and Web sites. The dictionary portion of the text takes up more than 290 pages and includes entries on key figures of Czech society; important towns, cities, and regions; architecture; key documents; historic events; organizations; and a diverse mix of general topics that should appeal to readers seeking succinct introductions to various aspects of Czech society. Examples include Agriculture, Banking and monetary systems, Communications, Health care, Literature, Music, Press, Religion, Transportation, and Women.
