About this audiobook

From the bestselling author of On Tyranny comes a revealing history of the four modern national ideas that arose from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth

Modern nationalism in northeastern Europe has often led to violence and then reconciliation between nations with bloody pasts. In this fascinating book, Timothy Snyder traces the emergence of Polish, Ukrainian, Lithuanian, and Belarusian nationhood over four centuries, discusses various atrocities (including the first account of the massive Ukrainian-Polish ethnic cleansings of the 1940s), and examines Poland's recent successful negotiations with its newly independent Eastern neighbors, as it has channeled national interest toward peace.

    Reading this book is an eye opening journey through the intricate history of Eastern Europe. The author masterfully navigates the complex web of political, cultural and social transformations that shaped the region after the collapse of empires. Snyder’s style of writing is engaging and accessible, making it a must read for both history enthusiasts and newcomers alike. For anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Eastern European history and the enduring impact of reconstruction on nations and identities, I highly recommend this book.
