Baltic Capitals

Norman Handy

Baltic Capitals is the story of a fascinating trip around the shores of the Baltic, visiting both the ‎current capitals that we are familiar with and some of the lesser-known former capitals with their ‎castles, cathedrals and palaces.‎
It is a trip through various countries' cuisine, culture, architecture, geography and history ‎including numerous invasions, regional conflicts, the part that they all played in their own ‎development and the development of the region up to where it stands today.‎
Various themes turn up again and again as they interacted with each other and their response to ‎world events and how they got to where they are in the world today.‎
