A concise look at European history between 1914 and 1945, Twisted
Paths: Europe 1914-1945 offers a new and alternative introduction
to the period. Featuring a series of succinct interpretations by
expert contributors, this volume covers historical developments in
all areas within Europe's natural borders--from the Atlantic to the
Arctic Ocean, from the Bosporus to the Urals and the Mediterranean.
Moving beyond the view that the history of this period can only be
understood in terms of catastrophe, it argues for a more balanced
perspective, suggesting that both "darker" and "lighter" elements
in Europe's history were capable of evolving simultaneously.
Without neglecting the more familiar stories of war, genocide, and
economic depression, each chapter demonstrates that political
stability and regime collapse, social progress and mass poverty,
and the crisis of European civilization and remarkable cultural
achievements, existed alongside each other.
Emphasizing the histories of the smaller states--and the
multifaceted nature of the period--Twisted Paths illuminates the
diversity of Europe's experiences in the first half of the
twentieth century.
