Offering a twenty-first century perspective on twentieth-century Europe, pre-eminent scholar Bonnie Smith's engaging new synthesis is the first text to provide both a thorough integration of social and cultural material with political history and substantive treatment of Europe's broader global context. Each of the twelve chapters combines compelling narrative with a wonderfully rich set of primary texts and picture essays, reinforcing for students the importance of primary sources to the study of history. Neither overtly triumphalist nor disparaging, this even-handed and thoughtful account takes the full measure of Europe's negative and positive legacies at home and its impact on and interactions with the world at large.
“This is a lucid, original, and articulate presentation of Europe’s last century. . . . Smith moves gracefully across the continent showing Europe’s main characteristics and what is still distinctive about its members. . . . In addition, the format fulfills an important pedagogic need with each chapter effectively balancing text, primary documents, and picture essays.”— Carole Fink, The Ohio State University
