Publications by Daniel E. Miller  Pitt Series in Russian and East European Studies Pittsburgh: University of Pittsburgh Press, 1999 This is a political biography of Antonín Švehla, the Czechoslovak prime minister and leader of the Republican (Agrarian) party. Švehla reconciled competing interests among socialist, bourgeois, clerical, and minority parties to form coalitions that contributed to the political stability of the Czechoslovak First Republic (1918-1938). In the realm of agrarian politics, Švehla adroitly preserved the unity of a mass movement of cottagers, small agriculturalists, estate owners, and agricultural industrialists. The book analyzes one of the most successful agrarian movements in modern Europe. It aids scholars in comprehending political change and development in Europe between the world wars and contributes to the understanding of political consensus and coalition building in new democracies. Reviews of the book appear in Slavic Review; Český časopis historický [Czech Journal of History]; H-Net, Habsburg; Austrian History Yearbook; Journal of Modern History, Slavonic and East European Review, Nationalities Papers, and elsewhere.
