Lost Countries explores the history of those countries that at one point in time existed, and even issued their own stamps, before they were colonized and usurped. Countries such as Cyrenaica, North Ingria, the Danish West Indies, Fiume, Obock, Priamur, Stellaland, French India Tuva, Wenden and even Fernando Poo are finally given their day in this lively and informative new book. By exploring these countries’ stamps and maps, Chris West, author of First Class, and Stuart Laycock, author of All the Countries We've Ever Invaded, go in search of the truth about these fascinating, now-vanished nations.

They unearth a wide variety of stories, some charming, some amusing, some dark. Some of the places they find are now just historical curiosities, while others still sit right at the heart of contemporary conflicts. Lost Countries is a fresh and intoxicating mix of history, geography and art, and offers a fascinating glimpse into our colonial past.
