| Summary | "The New Frontiers of Freedom from the Alps to the Ægean" by E. Alexander Powell is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the tumultuous political landscape of southeastern Europe following World War I. Powell explores the dramatic changes in national boundaries, the birth of new nations, and the struggles of different ethnic groups navigating their identities amidst the shifting landscapes of power. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for a journey undertaken by the author and his wife through the newly formed frontiers from northern Italy down to the Aegean. They travel by motorcar and naval vessels through regions now defined by recent treaties, and Powell vividly describes the complexities of these "redeemed lands." He reflects on the sociopolitical implications of transitions, the cultural contrasts between newly amalgamated groups, and the lingering sentiments stemming from centuries of regional history. Their journey serves as a tangible metaphor for the challenges faced by nations asserting their identities in a world that has been forever altered by conflict and diplomacy.
