The book depicts the life story of Miloš Šuchma (*1940), who co-founded the Club of Committed Non-Partisans in 1968 and after his emigration to Canada, where he became editor-in-chief of the magazine Západ and chairman of the Czech and Slovak National Association in Canada, was one of the key figures of the Czechoslovak exile. In his memoirs, the author introduces the reader to his Wallachian roots and his childhood and youth in Prague's Vinohrady district, which was marked by the fateful twists and turns of Czechoslovak history - the German occupation and the Communist putsch. He describes the arrest and imprisonment of his father, a gold merchant, and takes us through his subsequent fate up to the Prague Spring and the following decades of his Canadian life. The foreword was written by Petr Blažek. Selected articles and interviews from the magazine Západ are published in the appendix.
The main distributor of the book is Kosmas.cz.
