The book of the leading Slovak heraldist provides a comprehensive view of the complex period of 1938-1945 and its reflection in numerous heraldic proposals for the expression of the new political reality in individual parts of the broken Czechoslovakia. He also notes the use of Czechoslovak and Slovak symbolism in the second resistance. In addition to the critical text, referring to archival sources from Slovak and Czech archives, it also provides rich pictorial documentation. The catalog of unrealized graphic designs for the national emblem, flag, seal, as well as designs for the standard of the President of the Slovak Republic from 1939, which were completely unknown until now, is particularly unique. The book significantly advances our knowledge behind the scenes of the creation of state symbols of this period and thus adds an unexpected new dimension to our view of it.
