description: A sail across Europe via canals and rivers in a small yawl in 1925 with intimations of the coming fascist disaster.In Flame a 26 ft. lapstrake yawl and accompanied by his wife Farson takes us to Eastern Europe a few years before the outbreak of the Second World War and in many of the areas he visits the chilling precursers of fascism are already beginning to show their snake-like heads. The writing as is usual with Farson is very fine and the history of the region is presented in such a way as to bring understanding to not only the events of the Second World War but even more importantly the events of the last few years in Boznia/Herzogovina and the neighbor states.
