An account of a thousand years of strife, war, and bloodshed, from pre-Christianity to the fall of Communism--illuminating the cultural significance of a place perpetually lost to the margins of history.
What The Reviewers Say
[Mikanowski] does not approach this task chronologically, but thematically.
The scope of Goodbye, Eastern Europe... remains impressive, yielding a book chockablock with anecdotes.
Shot through with lyrical reflections and astute analysis, this is a rewarding portrait of diverse and complex part of the world..
Mikanowski... proves to be a capable guide to countries and cultures that many readers may have never encountered. An informative study of a part of the world too often ignored, told with vigor, color, and authority..
