- Abstract
The beginnings of the Czechoslovak Government in Exile are among the most complicated chapters in the history of the Second World War. The process took place almost simultaneously in three countries. Its ups and downs were inextricably intertwined with the controversial personality of the ex-president Edvard Beneš, who tells his version of events in letters to his brother Vojta. From the uncertain Political Directorate in Chicago, via the quarrelsome National Committee in Paris, the path led through two further advancements until the humiliating term 'provisional' was dropped by the British Foreign Office in July 1941.
