A "Goodbye to All That" of Austria's Italian Front
This is a fine, fascinating read.Because it is the story of a Czech mountain artilleryman on the Italian Front, and offers a very real and often terrifying glimpse mountain warfare as well as the development ofemergent nationalism amongst the "minority" battalions of theAustro-Hungarian Army, it is perhaps unique in the libraries of WWIrecollections. ...

Another Terrific book by Steven Saxonberg!!!
This is the second exciting book written by the Swedish Political Scientist Steven Saxonberg. His first publication came out of his PhD Dissertation in Political Science from Uppsala University with the work, The Fall: A comparative Study of the End of Communism in Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary and Poland (Harwood/Routledge,2001).This newest publication, The Czech Republic before the new Millennium (East European Monographs/Columbia University Press,2003) is a area studies work that addresses Czech politics directly, but also gives the reader a great wealth of political insight that emerged in Central Europe since the transition and non-transitions from the communist era.

Genealogists will flip
A really interesting and useful book.Explains some of the great mysteries of Czech immigration to America, as well as how to start following their trail back to the old country.Specifically for Bohemiansand Moravians west of the Mississippi, but certainly useful east as well. Don't know if it's helpful for Slovakians or not.Black & white photosincluding a dandy with a billy goat pulling two children in a cart,excellent bibliography, notes, terms, some surnames.I'm not employed bythe publisher and do not know the author. ...
