What People are Saying About This
"This volume reveals the many unresolved issues about the breakup of Czechoslovakia as well as the subsequent development of the two republics. It is an important contribution to the study of the Czech and Slovak recent past that contributes to the debates about the Velvet Divorce. The contributors to Stolarik's volume are noted scholars, in three different fields, from Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and elsewhere, along with participants in the decision to divide Czechoslovakia in 1993. Their analyses of the events are both refreshing and thought provoking."—Daniel E. Miller
