5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant read
Very enjoyable history of Central Europe
3.0 out of 5 stars No maps!
I have bought it but have yet to read it, but the thing that immediately struck me was there are no maps. I find that surprising and disappointing (was the publisher trying to cut costs?), but we shall see.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book
10/10 - gripping stuff
What is Central Europe and where is it going?
I was captivated by the idea of Central Europe in the 1980’s, mainly through the work of Kundera. Then visiting the Czech, Slovak, and Hungarian capitals in the 90’s, after the fall of the wall, together with further reading, my interest grew. In the first decade of this century a project to visit every European capital further deepened this interest in the area. A move to South East Asia and finding out about here pushed it to the back a bit, but the cause was kept alight by the fight of Ukraine for independence and, more recently, the resurgence of anti-Semitism. This is a welcome book giving a historical background, including about the Holy Roman Empire, which we learnt nothing about during school history, for shame, and, famously was none of them. If people really want to understand how Europe got where it is, what Central Europe is, and ideas on where it is going, this book is indispensable.
