A Careful Historical Account

Summary/Abstract: Kuklík, Jan. Do poslední pence: Československo-britská jednání o majetkoprávních a fi nančních otázkách 1938–1982. Prague: Karolinum, 2007, 472 pp. (including a 20-page English résumé). The book under review is a discussion of the Czechoslovak-British talks on property rights and fi nancial questions, 1938–82. The topic is examined chronologically, comprehensively, using largely exhaustive original archive research. The author devotes most space to Czechoslovak-British relations and negotiations in the short period of less than three years from the end of the Second World War to the Communist takeover. Thanks to a sense of broader historical contexts the work, according to the reviewer, makes a clear contribution to our understanding of Czechoslovak economic history, the history of both domestic and foreign policy, and the mechanisms leading to the Cold War.
