Summary/Abstract: Hahn, Hans Henning (ed.). Hundert Jahre sudetendeutsche Geschichte: Eine volkische Bewegung in drei Staaten. Frankfurt am Main: Peter Lang, 2007, 324 pp. This is a review of individual contributions in an essay volume that comes out of a conference held in Oldenburg, Germany, in 2005. The reviewer praises them as thoroughly inspirational works, which are mature in terms of their knowledge of the facts and interpretations, and, for Czech readers, remarkable. The volume is the brainchild of Eva and Hans Henning Hahn, who in their earlier publications challenged established interpretations of Sudeten-German history. Here too they show themselves to be original scholars.
