| Summary |
"When searching for a complete, up-to-date survey of the history of the Czechs, one has found very little - until now. The Czechs and the Lands of the Bohemian Crown provides a single-volume introduction to the land and its people that is both scholarly and accessible. Tracing the course of Czech history from the tenth century to the eve of the Czech Republic's entrance into the European Union, The Czechs illuminates the tangled destinies of a people at one of Europe's strategic crossroads."--Jacket |
