Description:

 

 

Well, Czechoslovakia was supposed to be the feel-good country of the 20th Century but it didn’t quite work out that way, as it was invaded by the Nazis, enjoyed a couple years of uneasy freedom and then flipped to the commies in 1948.  In this episode I discuss a little bit about Czech history and put the events of the Czech Coup in context of the greater Cold War.   This incident caused a flurry of activity in the Western world that had a big impact on Western ideas of security – namely they start talking about NATO at this point.  Enjoy.
