Lost Countries : Exotic Tales from an Old Stamp Collection Hardback

Hardback

Description

Pickup an old stamp album and flick through it. You'll find a host of exotic and unfamiliar names: Cyrenaica, Fernando Poo, Fiume, North Ingria, Obock, Stellaland, Tuva, - distant lands, vanished territories, lost countries.

Do they still exist? If not, where were they? What happened to them?From My Old Stamp Album goes in search of the truth about these and many other amazing places.

Stuart Laycock and Chris West unearth stories of many kinds.

Some take you to long-disappeared empires; others throw light on the modern era's most pressing wars.

You are invited to enjoy them all, in a collection of historical narratives as broad and enticing as that old stamp album that you've just discovered in the attic.
