Europe in 7 1/2 Chapters

It has never been more important to understand the extraordinarily complex and tightly meshed history, geography, culture and politics of the European continent. Garton Ash draws on a lifetime of reporting, analysis and consulting in this distilled and accessible, narrative driven and conversational introduction to what he calls the world's oldest and newest continent. He divides this vast subject into thin thematic slices which elucidate the whole.
