Schmidt, Dana Adams Anatomy of a Satellite
Boston Little Brown 1952 Book Club (BCE/BOMC) Hardcover Good Good Book
Unclipped dustwrapper. No marks or inscriptions. Faded spine. "What happens to everybody - workers, teachers, farmers, artists, shopkeepers, clergymen - when Communists seize control of a Western democracy like Czechoslovakia. This revealing book - the work of a veteran foreign correspondent who covered Communist Czechoslovakia for his paper the New York Times - is at once the inside story of how the Communists took over that country, and of what could happen to any Western democracy if and when the Communist Party seized power. Mr. Schmidt came to Prague in April 1949. He left in May the following year, just one jump ahead of the Czech secret police, who had no use for a foreign correspondent devoted to digging up the facts and reporting them to his paper. And there are the headline stories, and the stories behind the headlines: the trial of William Oatis, the death of Jan Masaryk, the purging of Rudolph Slansky, the fate of Noel Field and others, the escape of Casy Jones Konvalinka. The death of a country.".
