Retracing the Iron Curtain: A 3,000-Mile Journey Through the End and Afterlife of the Cold War

Phillips travels the Iron Curtain’s 3,000 miles, from the Arctic to where Armenia meets Azerbaijan and Turkey. He explores the borderlands where clashing ideologies took form in concrete and barbed wire—and the new Europe that emerged from the ruins.
Transporting readers across eight decades, Retracing the Iron Curtain reveals how a defining 20th-century conflict echoes louder than ever today.
