… As it turned out, the great majority of the Czechoslovak revolutionary (constitutional) National Assembly, established after the war, was in favor of Masaryk's views and paid no attention to the declaration of common goals of independent Central European views. The National Assembly did not derive its power from the consent of the ruling - it was not chosen by the Czechoslovak people, and the Czechoslovak Germans, Hungarians, Poles and Russians living in the country did not have the opportunity to "organize their own governments on such principles and in the form they believed would best support their welfare , safety and happiness." …
The whole chapter 18. HERE. The book was first published in the US in 1986 (East European Monographs, Boulder, New York 1986) and in Czech Republic in 1998. We still live in a lie about our past.

I wanted to buy the book, ask for it to be released again, and have the permission to print a sample from the book.

(chystal se kandidovat na presidenta republiky, kdy firmu předal Janu A.Baťovi), moc nelitovali, pokud vůbec… Běda zemi, která má v době vážné krize v čele slabochy, upřednostňující své zájmy a neschopny rozhodně, racionálně jednat v zájmu země.
