Recenzii

In this masterful survey, Bonnie Smith gives readers a gripping yet nuanced narrative of Europe in a global context. The wide range of voices contained in the documents reveal the profound trauma and transformation of the era. Easy to read but always thought provoking, this book is the best resource available for understanding Europe in the contemporary age.
This lively and comprehensive book, by one of North America's leading historians, skillfully conveys a sense of life in Europe in the 'long' twentieth century. Swooping from the international exhibitions at the dawn of the twentieth century to the crises of the mid-twenty-teens, the chapters are typically introduced by a striking example which sets the context for the discussion which follows.
This highly accessible text offers a vivid history of twentieth-century Europe in a global context, highlighting in stunning detail the forces that shaped Europe's growing engagement with the world. The primary sources encourage further historical inquiry, offering students glimpses into the lives of both ordinary people and prominent historical figures.
