Title: A Traveler's View of the Balkans
Product review: At the front of the book is the Author's map of the Balkans which begins in the north with Austria and ends in the south with Turkey and Greece, in parallel and separated by the Aegean Sea. There are two tracks going from north to south. The western track follows the Adriatic Sea down to Greece while the inland eastern track begins with Hungary and ends with northern Turkey.The Author travels both tracks, spending a bit more time along the eastern track, particularly Rumania and Bulgaria. His contribution to history comes from a ground view of interviews with people along his path. As opposed to the view from 30,000 feet, the Author's ground level travels allows him to record pictures of life as experienced by the people whose homes were in the Balkans.Balkan Ghosts is an interesting book that sheds light on some historic events.
