Mnichov, Británie a pokus o revizi českého pohledu
The Munich Agreement, Great Britain, and an Attempt to Revise the Czech View

Summary/Abstract: Translation from Polish Milan Drapala. Review: Smetana, Vit. In the Shadow of Munich: British Policy towards Czechoslovakia from Endorsement to the Renunciation of the Munich Agreement (1938–1942). Prague: Karolinum Press, 2008, 358 pp. The author of this volume, according to the reviewer, has achieved a thoroughly researched piece of work of a polemical nature, the aim of which is to surmount the prejudices and stereotypes of Czech historians of Czechoslovak-British relations in this period. The reviewer sees its shortcomings in the fact that this ‘revisionist model’, showing more sympathy for British than for Czechoslovak motives and attitudes, is not always persuasive.
