Abstract

The view of exile policy through the eyes of its principal representative, which is mediated by the present publication, may be very interesting for potential prospects. It offers one of the possible stories of the Czech history of the Second World War, which captures the transformations of Czech statehood and, above all, its unusualness.

An interesting topic of reflection, to which Edvard Beneš's photographs of his second exile are directly inviting, is a huge effort for a state that de facto ceased to exist at that time. Similarly, good and sophisticated publications can only be welcomed.

No less interesting would be photographs from President's private life that could offer a fresh look into exile everyday life.
