A History of Czechoslovakia Between the Wars deepens our understanding of a fragile Europe before World War II, and is essential for students and scholars of 20th century history."--Bloomsbury Publishing.European historyBICCzechoslovakiaHistory1918-1938CzechoslovakiaPolitics and government1918-1938European history.323.143709041Crowhurst Patrick247937UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910798863303321A history of Czechoslovakia between the wars3738363UNINA
