Description

Almost four years after the publication of the first comprehensive popular history of Eastern Europe, Tomek Jankowski returns with a much-needed second edition that, like the first, seeks to demystify Europe's elusive 'other half.' These years have seen the Ukraine War, Putin's resurgent Russia, a migration crisis, and a precarious future for the European Union. All this and more is now addressed in Eastern Europe! Everything You Need to Know about the History (and More) of a Region That Shaped Our World and Still Does.

Author description

Tomek Jankowski--who grew up in a Polish family in Buffalo, New York--worked, studied, and traveled in Poland, Hungary, and other regions of Eastern Europe from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s. He gained a functional literacy in Polish, Hungarian, Russian, and German, while also studying other Slavic languages. Jankowski holds a degree in history from the State University of New York at Buffalo. Since the late 1990s he has held positions in the business sector ranging from bond analysis to data research. Currently he is a senior analyst at a research firm that specializes in producing market analysis for the management consulting world--a capacity that has seen him author numerous reports focusing on Eastern Europe--as well as the financial services industry. He lives in Londonderry, New Hampshire.
