Summary/Abstract: Ladislav Feierabend, a prominent Czech politician and economist, played a significant role in both domestic and foreign resistance against the Nazis during World War II. After escaping from the Protectorate, he joined the Czechoslovak government-in-exile in London, where he became a key figure. Despite his contributions, Feierabend faced challenges upon returning to the liberated republic in 1945, as the agrarian party he represented was not reinstated. His extensive memoirs provide a detailed account of his activities and the political dynamics of the time. Feierabend's efforts in exile, including his involvement in the Czechoslovak National Committee and his diplomatic missions, highlight his dedication to the cause. His legacy is marked by his unwavering commitment to democratic values and his significant impact on Czechoslovak political history.
