Who are the Slovaks? What is their contribution to our Western culture?
Located at the geographical and cultural crossroads of Central Europe, the Slovak Republic has emerged as an increasingly important player on the world stage with membership in NATO and the EU. It has come out of centuries of foreign rule, with a Velvet Revolution, to build an "investors'paradise". This book explores the Slovaks and fills a gap in the history of the last fourteen centuries.
The translation and new extensive notes by North American scholars make this the English language text for the history and development of the Slovak nation in the context of Central Europe.
As a stand-alone volume, no other book in English has such a wealth of contemporary and scholarly information. It addresses the historiographical controversies with copious notes and an extensive bibliography. Also added to this illustrated English edition are a full index, six color maps, historical update to 2005, and a preface.
An afterword by a leading Slovak archaeologist advances the historical debates surrounding the mythology and origins of Slavdom. Vissza
