Geert Mak crisscrosses Europe from Verdun to Berlin, Saint Petersburg to Srebrenica in search of evidence and witnesses of the last hundred years of Europe. Using his skills as an acclaimed journalist, Mak locates the smaller, personal stories within the epic arc of history-talking to a former ticket-taker at the gates of the Birkenau concentration camp or noting the neat rows of tiny shoes in the abandoned nursery school in the shadow of Chernobyl. His unique approach makes the reader an eyewitness to a half-forgotten past, full of unknown peculiarities, sudden insights and touching encounters. Sweeping in scale, but intimate in detail \u003ci\u003eIn Europe\u003c\/i\u003e is a masterpiece.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"In Europe: Travels Through the Twentieth Century | Geert Mak | Paperback | 9780307280572 | Used: Very Good | Travelogues 1698572 (temp: 10)","offer_id":48368750198936,"sku":"1698572","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"In Europe: Travels Through the Twentieth Century | Geert Mak | Paperback | 9780307280572 | Used: Very Good | European History 1388043","offer_id":48864227197080,"sku":"1388043","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81csX5gvyNL.jpg?v=1773263937","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/in-europe-travels-through-the-twentieth-century","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
