Demetz was a boy living in Prague then, and here he joins his objective chronicle of the city under Nazi control with his personal memories of that period, expertly interweaving a superb account of the German authorities' diplomatic, financial, and military machinations with a brilliant description of Prague's evolving resistance and underground opposition. The result is a complex, continually surprising book filled with rare human detail and warmth, the gripping story of a great city meeting the dual challenge of occupation and of war.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51365894422751,"sku":"9780374531560","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/VShIRhUegi9780374531560.webp?v=1789073630"},{"product_id":"prague-in-black-and-gold-scenes-from-the-life-of-a-european-city-paperback","title":"Prague in Black and Gold: Scenes from the Life of a European City - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrague is at the core of everything both wonderful and terrible in Western history, but few people truly understand this city's unique culture.
