And, in our own century, the terrors of Stalinism and its fascist enemy, striving for control of these colourful and complex shores. ***** In this story of Greeks, Scythians, Samatians, Huns, Goths, Turks, Russians and Poles, we come to know and understand the sea where Europe ended and barbarism was born." ///////////////////////////////////// Charles Neal Ascherson (born 5 October 1932) is a Scottish journalist and writer.
