Between East and West
Across the Borderlands of Europe
What's it about
Ever wondered what it truly means to be European? Journey with Anne Applebaum across the newly independent borderlands between East and West. You'll explore how centuries of shifting empires, forgotten histories, and competing identities are shaping the future of Europe right now. This isn't just a travelogue; it's a deep dive into the human heart of a continent in transition. Through powerful personal stories, you'll uncover the complex mix of hope, nostalgia, and nationalism that defines these lands and understand the forces pulling Europe together—and tearing it apart.
