| Review |
This
book helps make sense of the complex history of Central Europe in both
words and maps, in a way that nationalist histories of individual
countries often fail to do. The complex relations between the various
empires, frequently changing borders and both major and minor wars make
Central Europe one of the most complex areas to understand, and this
book helps immensely. |
