Abstract

to the First Vienna Award o f November 1938, and when Hitler marched on Prague in March 1939, Hungary occupied Ruthenia. Adam is critical of the Little Entente for isolating Hungary and allowing Germany and Italy to establish spheres o f influence in Central Europe in the late thirties. The fatal flaw of the Little Entente was containing a Hungarian state that could not revise the Versailles system alone. Romania's main threat was Bolshevik Russia, while Germany menaced Czechoslovakia and Italy had designs on Yugoslavia. None of the Little Entente countries was willing to back its partners against these great powers. That became glaringly appar- ent when the Czechoslovak state was dismembered. Adam has made an indispensable contribution to the field. Scholars of Central Europe in the interwar period should find a prominent place in their library for this collection, next to the likes of Piotr Wandycz, Barbara Jelavich, Anna Ciencala, and Peter Sugar.
