The Path to Lidice is a series of ebooks that looks into the relationships between Czechoslovakia, Great Britain, and the USA following the rise to power of Adolf Hitler and his bullying of Allied forces in Europe into the occupation of the whole of Bohemia and Moravia on the 15th March 1939.

It does this from the main standpoint of the Lidice Shall Live campaign. The campaign is often overlooked by historians, sometimes treated as a distant by-product of Operation Anthropoid - the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich. Apart from general references along the lines of "Lidice was rebuilt with the help of British miners..." there has been a dearth of satisfactory material dealing with how the village of Lidice came to be rebuilt, amongst bookshelves and in the download sections of libraries.

The story starts in Munich. Dishonor cloaks a whole nation with Neville Chamberlain's return to the British people, proclaiming "Peace for our time." In September 1941, Reichprotektor Von Neurath is deemed to be too soft on the Czechs. To his replacement death is vapid - a more horrifying vision for the future could not be conceived.
