Beskrivning

This book provides a fascinating story of the experts who confronted and contributed to different and often conflicting geopolitical visions of Europe. The Danube–Oder–Elbe Canal was never completed, yet what is more remarkable is the fact that the canal remained on various agendas and attracted vast resources throughout the twentieth century.
