Did David Hasselhoff End the Cold War? 50 Facts You Need to Know: Europe

by Emma Hartley - £7.99  Icon Books Ltd (2007)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781840467949 | ISBN 10: 1840467940

From the railway in Hungary run entirely by children to the British comedy sketch, unknown in the UK but watched by millions across Europe every New Year’s Eve, Emma Hartley discusses the idiosyncrasies and absurdities of Europe today.
 
Did David Hasselfhoff End the Cold War? covers everything from poverty to pop music via politics, pirates and much more.
 
Find out where the worst place in Europe is, why Germans are required to pay tax direct to the Church – unless they declare themselves unbelievers – and what the twelve stars on the EU flag actually represent. Discover that without Islam, Europe wouldn’t even exist and that there are half a million machine guns in Swiss homes. And what does The Hoff have to do with the end of the Cold War?

"Wide-ranging, intriguing and often amusing…Whether you are for or against the principle of European political integration, Hartley dishes a delightfully refreshing slant on this subject."
(Daily Telegraph)
