Description
The Rhine is a river that has shaped the course of European history. Spanning 800 miles from the Netherlands to the Swiss Alps, it has played a significant role in the development of the continent.

Blending travelogue and offbeat history, The Rhine tells the fascinating story of how a great river helped shape a continent.
