Homelands: A Personal History Of Europe

Beskrivelse

Homelands offers a deeply personal look at Europe's journey from the aftermath of World War Two through its periods of recovery and decline. Timothy Garton Ash draws on firsthand experiences and historical insights to tell this compelling story.

A vivid, intimate history of Europe's post-war transformation and the challenges it faced.

In this updated edition, Timothy Garton Ash weaves together stories from those who lived through Europe's dramatic changes. From his father's recollections of D-Day to his own encounters with the Stasi, and from conversations with Albanian guerrillas in Kosovo to dialogues with disaffected youth in Paris, this book brings history to life through personal experience.

Garton Ash, widely regarded as one of the foremost voices on Europe, also shares his unique perspective gained from advising top political leaders. Homelands captures a remarkable era of progress while honestly confronting the setbacks that followed.

This book stands as both a heartfelt history and a powerful appeal for Europeans to recognize and protect the hard-won achievements of their continent. As Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny, says, it’s "the right book for Europe, at the right time."
