In Europe A Journey Through the Twentieth Century

"Mr. Mak's travels start in the capitals that glittered so brightly in the early 1900s: Paris, Berlin, Vienna, St. Petersburg, London. ....But so much of this was thrown away in the mud, filth, and death of what the author calls the war of 1914-45. Mr. Mak tells this part of the story vividly and in great, gory detail, moving from grim fields of battle (Verdun, Stalingrad) to stirring places of revolution (Petrograd, Berlin), and on to ghastly charnel-houses of death and destruction (Auschwitz, Dresden)."Mak, Geert is the author of 'In Europe A Journey Through the Twentieth Century', published 2007 under ISBN 9780375424953 and ISBN 0375424954.
