Summary:

"My sole intention in preparing this book on the Communist putsch in Czechoslovakia in February, 1948, was to capture all incidents as they occurred and thus present a compact report to the reading public, showing that democracy and freedom in Czechoslovakia have only suffered a temporary death -- brought on by the seizure of the government by a band of men who have instituted a coarse and uncompromising dictatorship in an effort to hide their ulmost utter incapability and lack of statesmanship. and who are spurred on by their blind faith in the fanatic Communistic ideology with guidance from the Kremlin." --Foreword.
