Operation KÁMEN - False Border

“Stanislav Liška's story deserves to be told: thankfully, Václava Jandečková and Michal Kocián have done so in this gripping graphic novel. Liška, a guard stationed at the Czech-German border in 1948, became embroiled in the new Czechoslovak communist government's plan to ensnare Czechs trying to flee. As we learn in these pages, Liška, like so many others at that time, has difficult choices to make. The authors allow us to be present alongside Liška as he makes his decisions.”
