On returning from Germany on 30 September 1938 after his agreement with Hitler on the carve-up of Czechoslovakia, Neville Chamberlain addressed the British crowds: "My good friends ... I believe it is peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Go home and get a nice quiet sleep." Winston Churchill commented: "You have chosen dishonor and you will have war." P.E. Caquet's history of the events leading to the Munich Agreement and its aftermath is told for the first time from the point of view of the peoples of Czechoslovakia. Basing his account on countless previously unexamined sources, including Czechoslovakian press, memoirs, private journals, military plans, parliamentary records, film and radio, Caquet presents one of the most shameful episodes in modern European history in a tragic new shape. The result is a nail-biting story of diplomatic intrigue, perhaps the nearest thing to a morality play that history ever furnishes. The Czechoslovakian authorities were Cassandras in their own country, the only ones who could see Hitler's threat for what it was, and appeasement as the disaster it proved to be. In Caquet's devastating account, their doomed struggle against extinction and the complacency of their notional allies finally gets the memorial it deserves"-- $c Provided by publisher. 630 00 $a Munich Four-Power Agreement $d (1938) 651 0 $a Europe $x Politics and government $y 1918-1945. 651 0 $a Sudetenland (Czech Republic) $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Germans $z Sudetenland $z Sudetenland $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Czechoslovakia $x Politics and government. 651 0 $a Czechoslovakia $x Foreign relations $z Germany. 651 0 $a Germany $x Foreign relations $z Czechoslovakia. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Foreign relations $z Germany. 651 0 $a Germany $x Foreign relations $z Great Britain. 651 0 $a France $x Foreign relations $z Germany. 651 0 $a Germany $x Foreign relations $z France. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Causes. 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 630 07 $a Munich Four-Power Agreement. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01356199 776 08 $i Online version: $a Caquet, P.E. $t Bell of treason. $d New York : Other Press, [2019] $z 9781590510520 $w (DLC) 2019009185 941 $a 2 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909054909.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200103020707.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=75BDCF90FF9A11E9A2D37E2597128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
