Eastern Europe, A to Z: Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Yugoslavia, and the Soviet Union
Description:
Robert S Kane's return to Eastern Europe after a decade's absence has resulted in this, the sixth of his noted A to Z volumes - typically candid Kane appraisal of the eight rapidly evolving, culturally rich countries that hundreds of thousands of Western European vacationers have already discovered: Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Yoguslavia - and the Soviet Union, as well. Kane found transformations which were more than he could at first fathom - sleek new Rivieras and hotel chains, restored castles and churches and palaces and paintings, comprehensive air networks, go-where-you-please sightseeing policies. Leading off with President Johnson's "Building Bridges" policy ("Our aim is a true European reconciliation and we so much want to make this clear to the East"), Eastern Europe A to Z pinpoints the region, from packing to photography, cuisines to currencies, hotels to handicrafts, and perhaps most important, the peoples' warm welcome of their Western guests.
