BORDERLINES: A HISTORY OF EUROPE IN 29 BORDERS (PB)

The history of Europe told through twenty-nine key borders that define the past, present and future of the continent. Political historian Lewis Baston journeys from western to eastern Europe, examining how the map of our continent has been redrawn over the last century, with varying degrees of success. Today’s map of Europe is mostly the work of the Allies in 1919 and Stalin in 1945. Baston takes us to the edges of Europe, bringing to life the fascinating and often bizarre histories of these border zones.
