The Sudetenland. To Europe’s well-heeled in the Nineteenth Century, this was a place of world-renowned spa resorts nestled in the mountains ringing Western Bohemia. But bad blood and unfinished business from the First World War had taken their toll on the Sudetendeutsche – three million ethnic Germans unhappily living in the new nation of Czechoslovakia. In 1930 they were just one more ethnic complication among many in Central Europe. Eight years later, these people had found a champion in Adolph Hitler, and the smart money in Paris and London wagered the next World War would detonate in these storybook mountains and valleys.

Sudetenland© is a sweeping historical novel set against Central European intrigue during the late 1930s leading up to 1938's Munich Conference. Having swallowed up Austria, Adolph Hitler now covets Czechoslovakian territory. Only France has the power to stand beside the government in Prague against Germany... but will she? The characters are the smart and sometimes wise-cracking men and women of this era – the foreign correspondents, intelligence officers, diplomats and career military – who are on the front lines of that decade’s most dangerous political crisis.

Sudetenland introduces readers to Jan Burda, the Czech intelligence officer who must thwart the Nazis operating on his own soil; Ros Talmadge, the Paris-based American who is trying to make a name for herself as a foreign correspondent while staying one step ahead of her mercurial boss; Dietrich Morgen, the street brawler from Hamburg who found a home in Himmler’s SS; Ladislaw Capka, the Czechoslovak army tank commander trained in the finest French military academy who is determined to take the fight into Germany if war comes; Nathan Bulloch, the American military attaché in Prague who wanted to see the world but saw little reason in getting killed doing so; and Anton Krisch, who comes out of the Esterwegen concentration camp a much more dangerous man than when he was thrown in. With remarkable attention to historical detail, Sudetenland also features man actual personages who played a vital role during this international crisis including Charles de Gaulle, Winston Churchill and Frantisek Moravec.

Hitler’s unshakeable will demands that the Sudetenland be ripped from Czechoslovakia and joined with Germany. If Czechoslovak president Edvard Beneš ignores the advice of French premier Édouard Daladier and refuses to give up Bohemian territory willingly, then Hitler orders that it be taken by force. As the crisis builds over the summer of 1938, any spark, any perceived indignity could ignite the German dictator’s rage and start the war the leaders of France and Great Britain are so determined to avoid. Sudetenland takes readers behind the scenes into the deliberations and high drama taking place within major European capitals such as Prague, Paris, Berlin, Vienna and London as the continent hurtles toward the crucible of a shooting war.

Fact or fiction?!

Was a present for my dad and his feedback is that it’s a great book. But he’s unsure as to what parts are fact and which are fiction.

Could the Nazi's have been stopped in 1938?

I found this story to be a page turner, almost continually. The premise is an interesting one for anyone seeking alternate history fiction related to WW II. I am not sufficiently knowledgeable about the historical situation and events to judge how plausible the story might be, but I felt I learned a lot about what was happening in Central Europe in the late 1930s. I believe the author did a lot of background work regarding technical details that was enlightening. The variety of characters offered different views of the events unfolding and all seemed real. I thought the use of several news reporters to be very useful, as they could opine on what was happening as well as report it. I thought the writing was very good overall, though a good proof reader would have been of benefit. Outstanding first published book. Look forward to the sequel that was foreshadowed.

Good read

Started reading on my Kindle & it was really messed up--skipped parts & didn't make sense.. Changed over to my Fire Tablet & there were a few problems but after the beginning it was ok. I guess my main complaint was I thought it was historically accurate & didn't realize till the end that it wasn't based on actual facts. The writing was good & it was well paced. The character development was very good.. I would recommend it to someone that likes alternate historical endings.

Good historical novel writing

Good historical novel writing. Puts the early WWII events into a detailed perspective. Hitlers aggression and Chamberlain's cowardice and betrayal of the Czech people is described well.

A romp for WW II buffs

Reviewed in the United States on 19 February 2017

This is a big, sprawling novel that captures the run up to Munich with a sophisticated eye for political nuance and policy ambiguity. Then it launches into an elaborate, overheated departure detailing an entirely fictional Czech -German war that the Czech's handily win, resulting in the overthrow of Hitler.

I'm a big fan of interwar history and I enjoyed the read. The first two thirds describe the rape of Austria and the vast pressures exerted upon the Czechs to capitulate. This is good history. The tale is carried along with a large cast of characters, who are stereotypical and don't do more than provide a narrative. The dialogue is trite and shallow-- too often just juvenile. But this is a dramatic time with fast moving momentous events so I was able to put aside the nonsense and revel in the gripping events that the novel's narrative captures.

When it departed to the fictional war, I was happy to read along. Who wouldn't be happy to conjure a winning Czech military campaign that negated Chamberlain and toppled Hitler? So readers can just buy into the story and admire how the author conjures a very imaginative and realistic war story with a good outcome.
