Summary/Abstract: Bryant, Chad. Prague in Black: Nazi Rule and Czech Nationalism. Cambridge, MA:Harvard UP, 2007, 378 pp. This monograph by a young American historian is, according to the reviewer, a solid depiction of the history of the German Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia,viewed as the brutal result of the conflict-fraught relations between the Germans and Czechs. His arguments are thoroughly convincing, precise, and founded on analysis of original archive records as well as knowledge of the broad spectrum of the relevant secondary sources. The main contribution of the work, the reviewer believes, is the author’s balanced view of the situation in the Protectorate.
