À propos de cet audio

 The history of Europe told through twenty-nine key borders that define the past, present and future of our continent

A Rest is History Book of the Month - 'One of the most engaging and fascinating histories of Europe I've read for years.' DOMINIC SANDBROOK

In Borderlines, political historian Lewis Baston journeys along twenty-nine key borders from west to east Europe. He examines how the map has been dramatically redrawn over the last century, from Ireland to Ukraine, and uncovers the fascinating and often bizarre histories of these border zones.

By taking us right to the edges of the continent, Borderlines reveals a hidden story of Europe. In these unexpected places we also glimpse hints of what might happen next. Does a better future lie ahead for Europe?

Ce que les critiques en disent

A wonderful book, and one of the most engaging and fascinating histories of Europe I've read for years. Roaming from the fields of Ireland to the towns of western Ukraine, Lewis Baston is the perfect guide, full of curiosity and insight. It turns a familiar story into something strange, surprising and often intensely moving. (DOMINIC SANDBROOK, author of WHO DARES WINS and co-host of THE REST IS HISTORY)
Highly original and insightful...Rich in history and memorable anecdotes, this is an ambitious and affectionate attempt to describe the glorious complexity and diversity of Europe. (PD SMITH)
