About this book
The first English-language monograph on the Slovak-Polish border in 1918-47 explores the interplay of politics, diplomacy, moral principles and self-determination. This book argues that the failure to reconcile strategic objectives with territorial claims could cost a higher price than the geographical size of the disputed region would indicate.

Reviews
“Jesenský’s well-structured study presents the Czechoslovak-Polish border dispute over Orava and Spiš for an international audience. The author’s aim to paint a broad picture of the situation is commendable. … students of Czechoslovak-Polish relations should take the study into consideration.” (Pavol Jakubec, H-Poland, networks.h-net.org, February, 2016)
