A Small Rectifier of Historical Lies

Whereas the book What's Missing from Czech History provides a wide-ranging list of incorrectly presented facts from Czech national history over some 1,500 pages, this little book is only 239 pages long and focuses on the questions people most frequently ask about our history.

In it, we read about the origins of Prague and the Hussite movement, the nationalities that made up our population and the languages they spoke, and the establishment of the republic and its subsequent stages of development through the World Wars and the Cold War right up to the present day.

All facts that are usually overlooked or misinterpreted.
