Book sparks fresh debate over suspicious death of Jan Masaryk

A book issued at the end of last year has more than woken up a rather tired
and threadbare debate about the death of former Czechoslovak foreign
minister Jan Masaryk in 1948. Jan Masaryk, was found dead in his pyjamas in
the street outside the foreign ministry. His death was explained as a
suicide with the version given out that he had jumped from his flat at the
foreign ministry building. But suspicions of murder were hard for the
Communist authorities to quash. The communists had just taken over power a
few weeks earlier.
