Here is the definitive history of contemporary Europe, a
controversial but authoritative and lively narrative that is
destined to become the standard account of the period from 1914 to
the present. In this superb volume, esteemed historian Bernard
Wasserstein offers the first serious, full-length history of a
century of convulsive change. It is a history of barbarism and
civilization, of cruelty and tenderness, of technological
achievement and environmental blight, of imperial expansion and
withdrawal, of authoritarian repression and of individual rebirth.
Wasserstein provides both a narrative of the main contours of the
political, diplomatic, and military history and an analysis the
underpinnings of demographic, economic, and social developments.
Drawing on the latest scholarly findings, including recent
disclosures of intelligence materials and archival revelations that
followed the fall of Communism in Eastern Europe, Wasserstein
captures the essence of contemporary European history in an
engaging narrative that is by turns grim, humorous, surprising, and
enlightening.
