Authors Acknowledgements

I must thank my editors at John Wiley, Samantha Clapp and Rachael Chilvers, who have shown a lot more patience with my hectic schedule than I am sure I deserve. Alan Palmer was invaluable on the history of the Baltic region and Nicolas Kinloch and Marc Polonsky both gave me good ideas for the Part of Tens. To my in-laws, Phyllis and Monica Graham of Cockermouth, and my friends Laure and Alain Renouf of Aix-en-Provence, all of whom put me up (and put up with me) over the summer while I was writing this, I owe special thanks. Finally, my thanks go to John Hooper writer, journalist, European, and very forbearing Kraftwerk fan.

Introduction

O ne afternoon in 1983, when I was living and working in Paris, I was heading into the Place de la Concorde when I noticed some people running across it, something you dont usually do unless youve got an advanced death wish. Some sort of student demonstration was going on. The students chanted
