FINALIST FOR THE PULITZER AWARD A magisterial and acclaimed history
of post-war Europe, from Germany to Poland, from Western Europe to
Eastern Europe, selected as one of New York Times Ten Best Books of
the Year Europe in 1945 was drained. Much of the continent was
devastated by war, mass slaughter, bombing and chaos. Large areas
of Eastern Europe were falling under Soviet control, exchanging one
despotism for another. Today, the Soviet Union is no more and the
democracies of the European Union reach as far as the borders of
Russia itself. Postwar tells the rich and complex story of how we
got from there to here, demystifying Europe's recent history and
identity, of what the continent is and has been. 'It is hard to
imagine how a better - and more readable - history of the emergence
of today's Europe from the ashes of 1945 could ever be
written...All in all, a real masterpiece' Ian Kershaw, author of
Hitler
