Planning a 5-day tour of Prague in Oct, in which I tell the extraordinary story of what happened here from 1938 to 1989. From Nazi occupation, via killing of Heydrich, reprisals, the Communists, Secret Police, Prague Spring, to the Velvet Revolution. Let me know if interested!

I did a load of Men At War research there - and have recently been going in to read about the surprisingly active Mackintosh scene in the war years. I wrote this about the archive being at the heart of so much non-fiction at the moment, in the Obs today observer.co.uk/style/featur...
