My War Memoirs

The Czechoslovak minister of foreign affairs tells a detailed story of the revolutionary movement of the Czechs that led to the building of the new state, in the government of which he and President Masaryk have become the leaders."e;THIS book contains a record of my wartime experiences. Life moves so rapidly that the approach of new political events is apt to make us forget the old ones too easily. Much of what I saw and heard during the war deserves to be remembered, and that is why I have decided to wait no longer, but to tell the story of our revolutionary movement now. This book will be supplemented by later works on the Peace Conference and on our post-war foreign policy, for my work during the war and subsequently as Czechoslovak Foreign Minister forms an inseparable whole."e;-Introduction
