En bok om Prag under nazisternas ockupation 1939-1945. ISBN 3-85114-651-4.

Early in the morning of 15 March 1939, a half year before the outbreak of the Second World War, German troops marched into Prague. Not until 9 May 1945, the day after the Allies declared victory, did the Red Army reach the once-and-future Czechoslovak capital, finally bringing the Nazi occupation to a close. Conquered before the war began, liberated after it ended, the city endured more than six years of Nazi rule. In Prague in the Shadow of the Swastika Jan Kaplan and Callum MacDonald create a riveting photographic montage of those 2,248 days. Despite the interminable Nazi occupation, Prague escaped the devastation suffered by many other Central European cities. As scholars and World War Two enthusiasts well know, the Czechs did not offer armed resistance to the Germans either in March 1939 or throughout most of the subsequent years. Accordingly, Prague in the Shadow of the Swastika presents few images of atavistic violence that typify most Second World War photographic collections. The absence of vivid scenes of death, however, does not prevent the reader from perceiving the humiliation that Czechs felt on a daily basis as they confronted their defeat and helplessness. From bilingual signs, where German type stood in first position, to Nazi flags draped over Czech national symbols, the subjugated state of the once proud city is manifest throughout the pages of the collection.
