In 1991, Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Gulag, Iron Curtain and Red Famine, took a three-month road trip through the borderlands between the fallen Soviet Union and Europe--lands that became Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania and Moldova. In her iconic reportage, which has become indispensable history, she captures the harrowing story of a region that is once again threatened by Russia.
An extraordinary journey into the past and present of the lands east of Poland and west of Russia--an area defined throughout its history by colliding empires. Traveling from the former Soviet naval center of Kaliningrad on the Baltic to the Black Sea port of Odessa, Anne Applebaum encounters a rich range of competing cultures, religions, and national aspirations.
In reasserting their heritage, the inhabitants of the borderlands attempt to build a future grounded in their fractured ancestral legacies. In the process, neighbors unearth old conflicts, devote themselves to recovering lost culture, and piece together competing legends to create a new tradition. Rich in surprising encounters and vivid characters, Between East and West brilliantly illuminates the soul of the borderlands and the shaping power of the past.
Anne Applebaum is a columnist for The Washington Post and the author of several history books, including Gulag, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction, and Iron Curtain, which was a National Book Award Finalist. She is a former visiting professor at the London School of Economics, a former member of The Washington Post editorial board, a former deputy editor of The Spectator magazine, and a former Warsaw correspondent of The Economist. Her essays appear in The New York Review of Books, The New Republic, Foreign Policy and Foreign Affairs.
