About This Book

The author records a postwar journey through Italy, Dalmatia, Montenegro, Albania, Macedonia, Turkey, Rumania, Hungary and Serbia, combining eyewitness travel narrative with political observation. He reports on new borders, military occupations, relief work and the daily conditions of civilians, describes meetings with government and military officials, and sketches how peace settlements and diplomacy are reshaping nations and frontiers. Interwoven are landscape notes, local customs, and assessments of whether weakened states can recover, alongside on-the-ground portraits of cities, camps, and borderlands.
