Summary of Robert D. Kaplan's In Europe's Shadow

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Traveling is a way to relieve sadness. New surroundings prompt forgetfulness of old ones, and thus speed up the passage of time.

#2 The city was silent, and it was clear that the people were suffering. The bread and fuel lines began, and people were nervous and shy. They seemed as if they had never seen the sunlight.

#3 I had gone to Bucharest to interview the Romanian prime minister, and was treated as a professional journalist by the American diplomats.

#4 I began to acquire the habit of separating myself from the journalistic horde, looking for news in obscure locations. In 1984, I was told that Ceauşescu was blowing up entire neighborhoods of historic Orthodox churches, synagogues, and nineteenth-century houses in Bucharest.
