Geert Mak spent 1999 crisscrossing Europe, tracing the history of the continent from Verdun to Berlin, from Saint Petersburg to…
Auschwitz, from Kiev to Srebrenica. He set off in search of evidence and witnesses, looking to define the condition of Europe on the cusp of a new millennium. The result is an account of that journey, full of diaries, newspaper reports, and memoirs, and the voices of prominent figures and unknown players - from a grandson of Kaiser Wilhelm II to Adriana Warno, the eighteen-year-old ticket taker at the gate of the Birkenau concentration camp in Poland.
