'One of the most engaging and fascinating histories of Europe I've
read for years.' DOMINIC SANDBROOK'Thrillingly unique,
knowledgeable, perceptive and profound' IAN DUNTThe history of
Europe told through twenty-nine key borders that define the past,
present and future of our continentEurope's internal borders have
rarely been 'natural', they have more often been created by
accident or force. In Borderlines, political historian Lewis Baston
journeys along twenty-nine key borders from west to east Europe,
examining how the map of our continent has been redrawn over the
last century, with varying degrees of success. The fingerprints of
Napoleon, Alexander I, Castlereagh, Napoleon III and Bismarck are
all there, but today's map of Europe is mostly the work of the
Allies in 1919 and Stalin in 1945.To journey to the centre of the
story of Europe, Baston takes us to its edges, bringing to life the
fascinating and often bizarre histories of these border zones. We
visit Baarle, the town broken into thirty fragments by the
Netherland-Belgium border, and stop in Ostritz, the eastern German
town where Nazis held a rock festival. We meander the back lanes of
rural Ireland, and soak up the atmosphere in the coffee houses of
the Ukrainian city of Chernivtsi.Through these borderlands, Baston
explores how places and people heal from the scars left by a Europe
of ethnic cleansing and barbed wire fences, and he searches for a
better European future - finding it in unexpected places. 'An
eye-opening read that combines Baston's travels along Europe's
fault lines with incredible insights on how they got there in the
first place.' KATJA HOYER'Beautiful. A true gem...[his] unique take
on human nature through the history and heritage of the borderlands
ends up being deeply moving.' - IRISH INDEPENDENT'Extraordinarily
perceptive and original' ANTHONY SELDON'Refreshing and important'
