A vivid and human glimpse into Europe's borderlands as they emerged from Soviet rule - back in print after nearly 20 years.
As Europe's borderlands emerged from Soviet rule, Anne Applebaum travelled from the Baltic to the Black Sea, through Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine and the Carpathian mountains. Rich in vivid characters and stories of tragedy and survival, Between East and West illuminates the soul of a place, and the secret history of its people.
'In this superb book, in which one senses the spirit of Franz Kafka and Bruno Schulz, the dramatic world of the Eastern borderlands comes to life' - Ryszard Kapuscinski
'A beautifully written and thought-provoking account of a journey along Europe's forgotten edge' - Timothy Garton Ash
