| Notes: | Subtitle: A Human History from Hannibal to Heidi and Beyond The author drives through the Alps, from Lake Geneva in Switzerland, to Slovakia, passing through France, Italy, Germany, and Austria on the way. He mentions history and talks about the major mountains and passes, while never missing an opportunity to talk about how obliviously obnoxious the Dutch tourists are. |
