An authentic diary of Josef Sramek, a Czech soldier drafted to the Hungaro-Austrian army to fight from the beginning of World War 1. An ordinary Czech boy, twenty-two-year-old Josef Sramek was working at Kohn & Kornfeld, a textile distribution company, before he was forced to go to war in 1914. Having no respect for individual, national, or ethnic opinions, the Austrian military drafted thousands of unwilling youths like Josef, a process that wasn't too different from an unjust prison system.

Empires, Nations and Private Lives
This book brings together a series of papers presented at a University of Montreal interdisciplinary conference held in March 2014 and devoted to various little-known facets of the First World War’s cultural and social history.

Král českého braku

Jelínek a za nacistické okupace, kdy se „dal k Němcům“ pod jménem Willibald Yöring, byl fenoménem české brakové literatury let dvacátých až čtyřicátých. Byl neuvěřitelně plodný: během své spisovatelské kariéry vydal přes stovku „děl“, jejichž obsah sahal od „červené knihovny“ po dobrodružství všeho druhu. Oživované mrtvoly, oplodňování žen semenem z oběšenců, krysy požírající lidi... Notná dávka perverze Jelínka „proslavila“ tak, že jeho knihy jsou dnes cenným sběratelským artiklem – právě pro svou neuvěřitelnou stupiditu a dekadenci. Za okupace Jelínek udával své spoluobčany a byl za to pak odsouzen na několik let do vězení. Ve vazbě sepsal jakousi svou obhajobu, která však nemohla být jiná, než jeho „slavná“ díla.
Cold War Frequencies
Published for the first time, the history of the CIA's clandestine short-wave radio broadcasts to Eastern Europe and the USSR during the early Cold War is covered in-depth. Chapters describe the "gray" broadcasting of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty in Munich; clandestine or "black" radio broadcasts from Radio Nacional de Espana in Madrid to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Ukraine; transmissions to Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, Ukraine and the USSR from a secret site near Athens; and broadcasts to Byelorussia and Slovakia. Infiltrated behind the Iron Curtain through dangerous air drops and boat landings, CIA and other intelligence service agents faced counterespionage, kidnapping, assassination, arrest and imprisonment.
