Rezension
«In this book I met a number of people of whom and whose names I have heard. I found the memoirs very instructive because it showed me the other side of the political upbringing from which I benefited. Vladislav Bevc has done a very fine job editing it, and I commend Peter Lang for publishing it.» (Aloysius Cardinal Ambroži?, Archbishop of Toronto)
«The book is beautiful – the life story of the author is very rich and dramatic. The book will enrich our library and Sokol archive and will meaningfully complete the mosaic of history of the world Sokol movement.» (Vladimir Dostal, Chairman of the International Department, Czech Sokol Accociation, Tyrš Hall, Prague, Czech Republic)
