Description
Timothy Garton Ash's Homelands is a deeply personal and vividly recounted history of Europe since 1945. Drawing on half a century of travel and reflection, the book tells the story of Europe's slow recovery and rebuilding, its liberation and unification, and its subsequent faltering. Ash's own experiences, encounters, and anecdotes weave throughout the narrative, from his father's memories of D-Day to conversations with Polish dockers, Albanian guerrillas, and angry teenagers in Paris. The book is both a living, breathing history of a period of unprecedented progress and a clear-eyed account of how much was lost. At its heart, Homelands is an urgent call to the citizens of Europe to understand and defend what has been collectively achieved, and to consider the lessons of the past for the challenges of the present.
