'Excellent ... much to ponder' Financial Times In 1945, Europe lay
in ruins - its cities and towns destroyed by conflict, its
economies crippled, its societies ripped apart by war and violence.
In the wake of the physical devastation came profound moral
questions: how could Europe - once proudly confident of its place
at the heart of the 'civilised world' - have done this to itself?
And what did it mean that it had? In the years that followed,
Europeans - from politicians to refugees, poets to campaigners,
religious leaders to communist revolutionaries - tried to make
sense of what had happened, and to forge a new understanding of
civilisation that would bring peace and progress to a broken
continent. As they wrestled with questions great and small - from
the legacy of colonialism to workplace etiquette - institutions and
shared ideals emerged which still shape our world today. Drawing on
original sources as well as individual stories and voices, this is
a gripping and authoritative account of how Europe rose from the
ashes of the Second World War, forging itself anew in the process.
