For those that pretend to lnow Europe's (recent) history.By Luiz H.S.de VasconcellosAt the beginning of the Twenty-First Century; when there is so much happening and questioning our ability to think with confidence; it is only quite natural that one should look for events past in search of History's perspective. The author has done a superb job analysing events of a dark era in a dark continent. It is a must read.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Excellent history by MazowerBy H. StegallComprehensive but nuanced work that lets one know that the current state of Europe was likely if not inevitable. The idea of Europe is still developing out of its historic darkness.BTW I highly recommend A Short History of the Balkans by this author; as well as his Governing the World.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy C ArmstrongThe best work covering Europe in the Twentieth Century.
