Europe and the Czechs

Europe and the Czechs

Rajchman prepared the maps for the British journalist Shiela Grant Duff’s Europe and the Czechs, published in London by Penguin in 1938. This remarkable volume, written in a matter of days, was a doomed attempt to warn of dangers of appeasing Nazi Germany and abandoning Czechoslovakia. Distributed free to all British parliamentarians on the day Neville Chamberlain returned from Munich proclaiming ‘peace for our time’, Europe and the Czechs was initially vilified but subsequently became a huge best-seller.
