HOMELANDS - TIMOTHY GARTON ASH KARTONIERT (TB)

**Winner of the Lionel Gelber Prize 2024**   **A Financial Times Best Book of 2023**   ' A
moving love letter to Europe' Lea Ypi  author of Free    Drawing from the people who lived it 
Homelands explores how Europe slowly recovered and rebuilt from World War Two. And then
faltered.   Timothy Garton Ash  our greatest writer about Europe  has spent a lifetime studying
Europe and this deeply felt book is full of vivid experiences: from his father's memories of
D-Day and his own surveillance at the hands of the Stasi to interviewing Albanian guerrillas in
the mountains of Kosovo and angry teenagers in the poorest quarters of Paris  as well as
advising prime ministers  chancellors and presidents.   Homelands is at once a living 
breathing history of a period of unprecedented progress  a clear-eyed account of how so much
then went wrong and an urgent call to the citizens of this great old continent to understand
and defend what we have collectively achieved.   'The right book for Europe  at the right time'
Timothy Snyder  author of On Tyranny    'Tremendously enjoyable ... thoughtful  honest  open 
self-deprecating' Dominic Sandbrook  Sunday Times    'Readers could hardly wish for a wiser
guide ... defiantly hopeful' Financial Times
