Armáda a národnostní politika za první republiky
The Czechoslovak Army and the Nationalities Question in the First Republic

Summary/Abstract: Zückert, Martin. Zwischen Nationsidee und staatlicher Realität: Die tschechoslowakische Armee und ihre Nationalitätenpolitik 1918–1938. Munich: Oldenbourg, 2006, 354 pp. + appendices. The author of the work under review compares and contrasts ideas of the nation-state with the multinational reality as it was manifested in the Czechoslovak Army during the First Republic. Through this lens he considers the build-up, structure, daily operations, and conditions during the crisis leading up to the Munich Agreement. The author is, according to the reviewer, the fi rst to treat the topic so comprehensively, and some of his judgements can be applied to the First Republic in general.
