What is 1938 Věrni zůstaneme about?
The novel begins with the real political and military context of 1938, then diverges at a decisive point into a fictional scenario of Czechoslovak resistance to Nazi Germany. The author examines military strategy, tactics, units, and the wider consequences of a hypothetical decision to defend the republic. The result is an alternate-history reconstruction grounded in real circumstances of the period, while the course of the war itself is literary fiction.
