Czechoslovakia
Index
The authors wish to acknowledge the contributions of numerous
individuals to this edition of Czechoslovakia: A Country
Study. They are particularly grateful to the writers of the
1982 edition: Rosalyn Unger, "Historical Setting"; Patricia A.
Kluck, "The Society and Its Environment"; Darrel R. Elgin, "The
Economy"; James D. Rudolph, "Government and Politics"; and Eugene
K. Keefe, "National Security." This work provided the
organization and structure for the present volume as well as a
considerable portion of the text.
The authors also express their gratitude to the individuals
in government agencies and private institutions who graciously
contributed their time, research materials, and extensive
knowledge of Czechoslovak affairs. George J. Kovtun, Czechoslovak
Specialist in the Library of Congress, provided valuable insight
and suggestions for the "Historical Setting" chapter, as did
Ellen Jones and Lyston Lea of the Defense Intelligence Agency for
the "National Security" chapter.
The authors are also indebted to many members of the staff of
the Federal Research Divisions for their significant
contributions to the production of this volume. They are
particularly grateful to Richard F. Nyrop, who reviewed the
drafts of the chapters and provided guidance in all aspects of
the preparation of the book; Sisto M. Flores, who provided
information and expertise on ranks and insignia; Raymond E.
Zickel, who provided substantive editing and valuable comments;
Barbara Dash, and Marilyn Majeska who edited the manuscript;
editorial assistants Barbara Edgerton, Monica Shimmin, and Izella
Watson, who helped prepare the manuscript; and Marilyn Majeska,
who assisted with the editing and managed book production.
Special thanks are owed Teresa E. Kemp and David P. Cabitto,
who designed the artwork on the cover and the title page of each
chapter; Cabitto also oversaw the preparation and production of
the graphic art, maps, and illustrations, which were prepared by
Harriet R. Blood, Sandra K. Cotugno, Kimberly E. Lord, and Keith
Bechard. Susan Lender and Carolina E. Forrester helped selected
and modify maps for the publication. Thank also go to Sisto M.
Fores, who provide information on ranks and insignia. Andrea T.
Merrill performed the final editorial Margo Varghese prepared the
index, and Marilyn Majeska managed book production. Diann
Johnson, of the Library of Congress Composing Unit, prepared the
camera-ready copy under the supervision of Peggy Pixley.
Finally, the authors wish note the generosity of individuals
and private agencies who provided photographs for use in this
book. The authors are especially grateful for original work not
previously published.
