The Price of Freedom: A History of East Central Europe from by Piotr S. Wandycz

By Piotr S. Wandycz
This ebook, because the name indicates, attempts to make the case for perceiving Poland, former Czechoslovakia and Hungary as a unmarried cultural entity, as a quarter with sure universal features and ancient event. in spite of the fact that, because the reader reads on, she/he can't aid the sensation that the publication by chance proves the complete opposite. this isn't to claim that the writer is a charlatan - for there will be doubtless in regards to the his erudition. fairly, Wandycz seems less than the impact of the present geopolitical scenario in japanese Europe whilst the 4 nations (P, H, CZ, S) truly do face comparable difficulties and initiatives - yet such moments are infrequent of their histories and can't be taken as a kick off point of writing their joint background. still, the ebook might function a great advent into the final background of the nations within the quarter.
