IN EUROPE - GEERT MAK KARTONIERT (TB)

Geert Mak spent the year 1999 criss-crossing the continent  tracing the history of Europe from
Verdun to Berlin  St Petersburg to Auschwitz  Kiev to Srebrenica. He set off in search of
evidence and witnesses  looking to define the condition of Europe at the verge of a new
millennium. The result is mesmerising: as a sharp-eyed journalist and a hugely imaginative
historian  Mak makes IN EUROPE a dazzling account of that journey  full of diaries  newspaper
reports and memoirs  and the voices of prominent figures and unknown players  from the grandson
of Kaiser Wilhelm II to Adriana Warno in Poland  with her holiday job at the gates of the camp
at Birkenau. Mak combines the larger story of twentieth-century Europe with details that
suddenly give it a face  a taste and a smell. In Europe is a masterpiece  it reads like the
epic novel of the continent's most extraordinary century.
