The main source base of her monograph are the published decisions of the Supreme Court of the Slovak Republic between 1939 and 1944 in criminal cases which were classified at the time, based on then applicable laws, as political. This work also reflects the history of the creation of criminal law and its application. The author points out that this development was influenced not just by internal but also by external political and military situation. We can wholeheartedly recommend the publications to all who are interested in understanding the political situation in Slovakia during the period of independent Slovak Republic, the criminal law as such, justice system and other aspects of this historical time period.
