'Excellent ... much to ponder' Financial Times 'Essential reading
for anyone who wants to understand the world of today' - Margaret
MacMillan, author of War: How Conflict Shaped Us 'A masterpiece'
David Motadel, author of Revolutionary World 1945. Europe lies 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 concept 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. Rich with original sources and
individual voices, this is a gripping, authoritative account of how
Europe rose from the ashes of the Second World War - and forged
itself anew.
