"Chilling... To Hell and Back should be required reading in every
chancellery, every editorial cockpit and every place where peevish
Euroskeptics do their thinking.... Kershaw documents each and every
'ism' of his analysis with extraordinary detail and passionate
humanism."-The New York Times Book Review The Penguin History of
Europe series reaches the twentieth century with acclaimed scholar
Ian Kershaw's long-anticipated analysis of the pivotal years of
World War I and World War II. The European catastrophe, the long
continuous period from 1914 to 1949, was unprecedented in human
history-an extraordinarily dramatic, often traumatic, and endlessly
fascinating period of upheaval and transformation. This new volume
in the Penguin History of Europe series offers comprehensive
coverage of this tumultuous era. Beginning with the outbreak of
World War I through the rise of Hitler and the aftermath of the
Second World War, award-winning British historian Ian Kershaw
combines his characteristic original scholarship and gripping prose
as he profiles the key decision makers and the violent shocks of
war as they affected the entire European continent and radically
altered the course of European history. Kershaw identifies four
major causes for this catastrophe: an explosion of ethnic-racist
nationalism, bitter and irreconcilable demands for territorial
revisionism, acute class conflict given concrete focus through the
Bolshevik Revolution, and a protracted crisis of capitalism.
Incisive, brilliantly written, and filled with penetrating
insights, To Hell and Back offers an indispensable study of a
period in European history whose effects are still being felt
today.
