Description
A humorous and fascinating history of countries that no longer exist, revealing the often bizarre reasons behind their demise. From violent explosions to referendums, this atlas of extinct nations delves into the stories of those that fell off the map. With a focus on the often-ridiculous and sometimes disturbing circumstances surrounding their disappearance, this book offers a refreshingly unvarnished look at the world of geopolitics.
