Description: Homelands by Timothy Garton Ash Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Drawing on fifty years of interviews and experience, Homelands tells the epic story of how Europe in the early twenty first century, having emerged from its wartime hell, recovered and rebuilt, liberated and united to come close to the ideal of a Europe whole, free and at peace, and then faltered.A moving love letter to Europe Lea Ypi, author of FreeHomelands is a stunning blend of contemporary history, reporting and memoir by our greatest writer about Europe.Drawing on half a century of travel and thinking, Homelands tells the story of Europe since its emergence from wartime hell in 1945- how it slowly recovered and rebuilt, liberated and united to come close to the ideal of a Europe whole, free and at peace. And then faltered.Timothy Garton Ash has spent a lifetime studying Europe. Highly personal and deeply felt, this book is also full of vivid experiences, encounters and anecdotes- from his fathers memories of D-Day to interviewing Polish dockers, Albanian guerrillas in the mountains of Kosovo, and angry teenagers in the poorest quarters of Paris, as well as advising prime ministers, chancellors and presidents in the UK, Europe and the US.Homelands is both a living, breathing history of a period of unprecedented progress and a clear-eyed account of how so much then went wrong, from the financial crisis of 2008 to the war in Ukraine. At its heart, this book is an urgent call to the citizens of this great old continent to understand and defend what we have collectively achieved. Author Biography Timothy Garton Ash was 17 when Britain joined the European Community and 64 when Britain left it.

He has won many prizes and plaudits for his journalism and books, including The File, his riveting autobiographical account of investigating the contents of his Stasi file after the fall of East Germany.
