Description
Written by 11 contributors of international standing, this book offers a readable and authoritative account of Europe's turbulent history from the French Revolution in the late-18th century to 1998. Each chapter portrays both change and continuity, revolutions and stability, and covers the political, economic, social, cultural, and military life of Europe. With over 200 colour and black-and-white illustrations, this book seeks to provide a better understanding of modern Europe, how it came to be what it is, and even where it may be going in the future.
