Product Description

Product Description

This unique book examines the history, culture and inner workings of the seven smallest independent countries in Europe. These are among the oldest lands in Europe, despite their diversity, they have much in common. Most have relatively high per capita incomes and life expectancies, and relatively low unemployment. This narrative first presents the many unique issues that confront small countries, including maintaining their independence, economic viability, native languages, and forms of government. The second part of the book describes each microstate in turn, showing how each one has met these challenges and adapted over time. These concise and engaging histories contain cultural information on subjects including the arts, gastronomy and popular tourist sites.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not really secrets, but a good Euro-microstate overview , 22 April 2008
By Cousin Jack (Cornwall) - See all my reviews
A tag on the back cover categorises this book as `Travel/History' (personally I was hoping for more of the latter in the content). Flipping through the pages, I found the font a little bigger than could be wished, and the plentiful photographs were almost all attributed to `... Ministry of Tourism' &c. So this book could have fallen between two stools. And I fear that, to some extent perhaps, it has. But, on the other hand, it's an agreeably lightweight overview of European Microstates; or, if you prefer, a not-really-filled-with-many-in-depth-useful-details-but-plenty-of-background-information travel guide to the same. While it's not up to Lonely Planet levels of travel detail, the book offers a fairly substantial flavour of practicalities in the countries discussed. The book's title may suggest a certain amount of non-public-domain, nay, even cloak-&-dagger intelligence, but I found it a well-compiled digest of all-round information on these seven states.
