Drawing on previously unexamined material, this account illuminates the responsibility of England and France for the consequences of a landmark agreement. After returning from Germany on 30 September 1938, Neville Chamberlain addressed British crowds, proclaiming, "I believe it is peace for our time." In contrast, Winston Churchill warned, "You have chosen dishonor and you will have war." The narrative unfolds from the perspective of the Czechoslovakian people, detailing the events leading to the Munich Agreement and its aftermath. Utilizing a wealth of sources, including Czechoslovakian press, memoirs, private journals, military plans, and parliamentary records, the author presents a tragic episode in modern European history. This gripping tale of diplomatic intrigue serves as a morality play, revealing how Czechoslovakian authorities recognized Hitler's threat while their allies remained complacent. Their struggle against extinction and the indifference of their supposed allies is given the memorial it deserves in this compelling account.
