This account of the build up to and conclusion of the infamous Munich Agreement of 29 September 1938 was published in 1988 to mark the 50th anniversary of the event. The Munich conference itself was a brief affair with the outcome effectively determined in advance. In the end, the Czechoslovak Government was not even represented and once the Germans had seized the Sudentenland and the Hungarians and Poles had taken other chunks of territory, Czechoslovakia lost over a quarter of its entire territory and about a third of its population.
