A new book titled “Executed for Political Reasons in Communist Czechoslovakia” brings to light the stories of nearly three hundred people executed between 1948 and 1989. The richly documented publication includes hundreds of period records and photographs, not only of the executed but also of their executioners, some of which had never before been published.

The issue of political executions during the Communist era has long attracted the attention of both experts and the general public.
