Czech culture and the rise of communism

"The Struggle for the Soul of the Nation examines the most important and politically resonant fields of historical and culture debate in Czech society immediately after World War II. The author finds that communist public figures were largely successful in controlling debate over the nation's recent past - the interwar First Republic and the experiences of Munich and World War II - and over its location on the East-West continuum. This success preceded and was mirrored in the struggles over the political issues of the times : socialism. The communists engaged their political foes in the democratic socialist and Roman Catholic camps and, surprisingly, found significant support from a major Protestant church."--BOOK JACKET.
