“A riveting tale of her family’s experience in Europe during World War II [and] a well-wrought political history of the region, told with great authority. . . . More than a memoir, this is a book of facts and action, a chronicle of a war in progress from a partisan faithful to the idea of Czechoslovakian democracy.” -- Los Angeles Times Drawn from her own memory, her parents’ written reflections, and interviews with contemporaries, the former US Secretary of State and New York Times bestselling author Madeleine Albright's tale that is by turns harrowing and inspiring Before she turned twelve, Madeleine Albright’s life was shaken by some of the most cataclysmic events of the 20th century: the Nazi invasion of her native Prague, the Battle of Britain, the attempted genocide of European Jewry, the allied victory in World War II, the rise of communism, and the onset of the Cold War. In Prague Winter, Albright reflects on her discovery of her family’s Jewish heritage many decades after the war, on her Czech homeland’s tangled history, and on the stark moral choices faced by her parents and their generation. Often relying on eyewitness descriptions, she tells the story of how millions of ordinary citizens were ripped from familiar surroundings and forced into new roles as exile leaders and freedom fighters, resistance organizers and collaborators, victims and killers. These events of enormous complexity are shaped by concepts familiar to any growing child: fear, trust, adaptation, the search for identity, the pressure to conform, the quest for independence, and the difference between right and wrong. Prague Winter is an exploration of the past with timeless dilemmas in mind, a journey with universal lessons that is simultaneously a deeply personal memoir and an incisive work of history. It serves as a guide to the future through the lessons of the past, as seen through the eyes of one of the international community’s most respected and fascinating figures in history. Albright and her family’s experiences provide an intensely human lens through which to view the most political and tumultuous years in modern history.

Madeleine Albright is in 1997 net benoemd tot minister van Buitenlandse Zaken van de VS als ze tot de ontdekking komt dat haar grootouders van vaderszijde Joods waren en zijn omgebracht in de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Het is een grote schok; haar ouders hebben dat deel van hun familiegeschiedenis altijd voor haar verzwegen. De ontdekking is het begin van een zoektocht naar de wortels van haar familie, maar ook naar de gecompliceerde geschiedenis van Tsjecho-Slowakije, het land waarin Albright de eerste jaren van haar leven opgroeide en dat haar familie bij het utibreken van de oorlog is ontvlucht. Haar jeugd bracht ze door in ballingschap, eerst in Londen en later in de Verenigde Staten. In Praagse winter doet Madeleine Albright verslag van de eerste twaalf jaar van haar leven. De jaren 1937-1948 omvatten zowel de invasie van de nazi's in Praag en het begin van de Holocaust alsook het einde van het fascisme en de opkomst van het communisme in de jaren na de oorlog. Ze laat zien hoe in deze perioden miljoenen burgers werden losgerukt uit hun vertrouwde omgeving en werden gedwongen om nieuwe rollen aan te nemen: die van leider in ballingschap of vrijheidsstrijder, verzetsheld of collaborateur, slachtoffer of dader.

Felix Hoffman's hunger is both physical and emotional. A Dutch diplomat with a chequered career behind him, he is now Ambassador in Prague in the late 1980s; his finalposting. In Kafka's haunted city, Hoffman desperately feeds his bulimia and spends his insomniac nights studying Spinoza and revisiting the traumas of his past. A child survivorof the Holocaust, Hoffman married and had beloved twin daughters, but a double tragedy has befallen his family; one daughter died as a young girl of leukaemia, the other, who became a heroin addict, has committed suicide. his has wrecked Hoffman's marriage and his life; he has not had one decent night's sleep since the death of his daughter over twenty years ago, and his constant physical hunger reflects his emotional hunger for truth and understanding. When Carla, a Czech double agent, gets into Hoffman's bed, political and emotional mayhem ensues. Hoffman's past and his present predicament are inextricably bound up with the tormented history of Europe over the fifty years since the Second World War. Like Europe, he is at a crossroads, and the signs point to an uncertain future.
