Description
The Usurpers, was based on the diaries Willa Muir kept in Prague in the period 1945-1948, when her husband was the Director the British Institute there. Under the guise of Utopians in Slavomania, it offers acute, humorous and sometimes acerbic observations on relations among the British and between them and their Czech allies and opponents.
