The Vesels: The Fate of a Czechoslovak Family in Twentieth-Century Central Europe

This book deals with the Slovak National Uprising (SNP) that was launched on 29 August 1944 in Banska Bystrica, Slovakia. In the West, the uprising is an under-researched topic in the history of WWII. The Slovak state was an ally of Nazi Germany, but the uprising proved that the population did not share the regime’s ideology.
