Title: The ultimate crossroad of history.
Review: This book is an intellectual feast for anyone who has ever wondered about the countless tribes and nations who have migrated and multiplied between Europe and Asia. Everyone's forbears (except maybe the most western parts of Europe), lived, fought or traded near the Black Sea. And it seems that almost no one's ancestors have always been in the country where they think they came from. The middle section spends a surpring amount of time on the Polish people who dominated Odessa and the Crimea after 1800. But the author is clear that it was the irresistible desire for business and trade that brought all kinds of cultural progress as well as prosperity to millions of people. Greeks, Italians and other trading people in the Middle Ages were amazingly brave to run outposts far from home, against every kind of risk.
