Liked It“I have to call this one of the most heart-rending work of historiography I have ever read. It is emotional, visual and completely memorable. Few have truly submerged the reader in the both the history of the place but also the present. |

“If you are interested to get the full view of European recent history, this is the book you need. From Vienna at the end of the 19th century till Sarejevo end of 20th century, Geert Mak takes you through the what and why of the European journey.”
