dbo:abstract
  • Josef Josten (25 March 1913 – 29 November 1985) was an exiled Czech journalist, publisher and campaigner. His early life in Czechoslovakia included two escapes, firstly from military occupation and secondly after a political coup. In his subsequent career in the UK, he warned of the dangers of authoritarianism, particularly communism. Josten was the first Western journalist to report on the Soviet atom bomb test, organised a major international exhibition of political cartoons and ran a campaign for the release of the imprisoned dissident Vaclav Havel. Later in life, he won a degree of public recognition in the UK, but he did not live to see the eventual change of regime in Prague for which he had worked. (en)
