About This Book

The book traces the Czecho-Slovak campaign for national independence during World War I, describing the political structure of Austria-Hungary, the collapse of imperial authority, and the emergence of national councils. It documents prewar and wartime Czech political movements, state repression, trials and press persecution, and the ways Czecho‑Slovaks at home and abroad supported the Allied cause. It recounts the organization of military units, diplomatic recognition and provisional government formation, and outlines anticipated postwar borders, international responsibilities, and the republic's hoped-for role in promoting peace and democratic governance in Central Europe.
