Opis

In the Midst of Civilized Europe is an extensively researched account of a forgotten history.

Recenzje

Veidlinger's book ranks alongside Timothy Snyder's Bloodlands in forcing our eyes eastwards. It is deeply researched and masterfully written, with a cool restraint that only intensifies its power. It reminded me of Faulkner's line that "the past is never dead. It's not even past." Patrick Bishop Sunday Telegraph
