What is Europe?
As the old world order crumbles, it has never been more important to understand the epic story of Europe - the world's smallest and largest, oldest and newest continent.
'A terrific book - deeply knowledgeable, extremely informative and brilliantly written with verve and sparkling wit' IAN KERSHAW
'A lifetime of learning condensed into 160 pages - full of fascinating nuggets and insights' SAM FREEDMAN
Europe is at once vast and intricate: you can have breakfast in Germany, coffee in the Netherlands and lunch in Belgium. It invented democracy but has fought nearly 3,000 wars in the last millennium. And its past is present everywhere: the borders of vanished empires still show up in election results today.
Brilliantly accessible yet profound, and fizzing with anecdote and expertise, Europe in 7 1/2 Chapters is an exhilarating journey through Europe's geography, history and culture - from wars and revolutions to food and football - which shows how Europe came to be as it is today: more united and more divided than ever. Can it still flourish in this dangerous new world, and even shape it for the better?
Whether you're looking for an introduction to the continent's breathtaking past or the perfect holiday read, you should have Europe in 71/2 Chapters in your pocket - it is witty, surprising and always entertaining.
Praise for Homelands by Timothy Garton Ash
