Drawing on half a century of meetings, interviews and his own family history, historian and professor Timothy Garton Ash describes how Europe recovered after World War II. How, rebuilt, liberated and united at the start of the twenty-first century, it came close to the ideal of unity, freedom and peace. Until everything faltered.
In conversation with Karel Verhoeven, Timothy Garton Ash will unravel Europe’s recent political history and delve into the current crisis. From the 2008 financial crisis to the war in Ukraine. Everything we have achieved in Europe is now at stake. With Homelands, Timothy Garton Ash calls on us to defend what we have achieved.
