Czech and Slovak Republics (Lonely Planet Country Guides S.)  -  by Jane Rawson, Matt Warren
This travel guide to Czech and Slovak Republics covers hotels and hostels, where to eat and entertainment options.
Paperback 488 pages (January 31, 2004); Publisher: Lonely Planet Publications
Prague (Lonely Planet City Guides S.) -  by Neil Wilson
Where Paris once led the way as the centre of Europe's bohemian lifestyle, Prague now comes out on top. The fourth edition of Lonely Planet: Prague manages to be both compact and comprehensive and is generally a good introduction to this city where European and North American wannabe poets now hang out.
Although the guide's structure follows the layout used by most books in the Lonely Planet series, there is more of a concentration on cultural issues than is often the case. As well as an illustrated colour guide to the city's memorable architecture, there are detailed sections on themes such as the history of the 1969 student rebellion against the Communists, the famous Karlos Most bridge, Franz Kafka and the vicissitudes of Prague's Jewish community. The sections on history and modern politics are perhaps a little weaker though, with no acknowledgement of the sizeable minority in the Czech Republic who have become disillusioned with Vaclav Havel.

History of the Czech Republic

 Independence: 1 January 1993 (from Czechoslovakia)

 Czech Republic History  -  Wikipedia
The Czech lands emerged in the late 9th century when it was unified by the Premyslids. The kingdom of Bohemia was a significant local power, but religious conflicts such as the 15th century Hussite Wars and the 17th century Thirty Years War were devastating. It later came under the Habsburg influence and became part of Austria-Hungary.
