Reviews

From Peoples into Nations is a consistently interesting and lively narrative from a terrific and highly engaging writer. Connelly does much more than just tell the story of the making of contemporary Eastern Europe. He is a master at helping us understand events through his interpretations. -Norman M. Naimark, author of Genocide: A World History

A rich narrative history of Central and Eastern Europe. ---Damir Marusic, The Washington Examiner

[From Peoples into Nations] will doubtless emerge as a landmark contribution to the study of nationalism as a political force in Eastern Europe. * Survival: Global Politics and Strategy * If you want to understand why illiberal democracy is not the newest of ideas, or how a raft of leaders has emerged in Hungary, Poland and the Balkans who seem to echo a dark time in our continent's history, this compelling book, covering the last 200 years in the region, is a good place to start. . . . Few recent works have made the past so relevant to our times. ---Victor Sebestyen, Sunday Times Connelly captures superbly the divergences and rivalries within his basket of nationalities: how little coordination took place between them; how little they recognised what he calls their 'common predicament.' ---R.J.W. Evans, Literary Review A rich narrative history of Central and Eastern Europe. ---Damir Marusic, Washington Examiner
