Hello AskHistorians, I've checked your excellent book list but sadly it doesn't seem to have anything dealing with my corner of the world.
I am looking for good books on history of Slovaks and also Kingdom of Hungary. Where Hungary is concerned I primarily want its history during medieval era. Mostly I am interested in Slovaks though.
Secondly I am interested in one that deals with Austrian empire and Austria-Hungary specifically I am interested in internal tensions and conflict between ethnicities and society and culuture of that time and place.
And last thing is regarding Czechoslovakia likewise I would like book or books that would give insight on its internal politics and society from its creation to its dissolution.
If you can recommend ones written by Slovak that would be even better.
Thanks.
I can't help off the top of my head with the first two requests, but as for the Czech Republic, Derek L. Sayer's The Coasts of Bohemia is a very interesting and well-written history of the country from its conception and into, I believe, the first half of the 20th century--but I may have that wrong (it's been about a year since I read it, and I can't link you on mobile); nevertheless, it's a solid and informative breakdown of the country's formation as well as its culture, politics, religion, etc. Highly recommended!
