The 'Other' Europe
Pack your bags if you thought that Western Europe was the only 'Europe' because Alan Palmer is going to take you on a journey spanning hundreds of years and covering a world rarely found in standard textbooks. Fight side by side with the last of Europe's Pagans, sit in on schemes, deceits and power grabs that would make Machiavelli blush with pride. Watch the developement of the Nordic Nations, Germanic eastern moves, the rise and fall of Poland, the autocracy of the tzars.
Alan Palmer works his way through a wonderful tangle of history with clarity that culminates with the fall of the Soviets and the relevance of the modern Baltic region.
