52. Hinterlands: Journey’s Through Europe’s Unfinished Frontiers
Henge

Long before Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, conflict was simmering on Europe’s borders. In overlooked territories in eastern Europe, the eastern Mediterranean and the Caucasus – from the Balkans and Cyprus to Abkhazia on the fringes of Georgia – local disputes spiral into regional crises, global alliances are forged and broken, and power is brokered while the West looks elsewhere. Acclaimed correspondent Hannah Lucinda Smith draws on vivid first-hand encounters with politicians, spies and ordinary people caught in the crosshairs to paint a gripping portrait of Europe at its edges – and the struggles that will define its future.
