Opis

The problem with the history of 20th-century Europe, asserts the author, is that everyone thinks they know it. The great stories of the century - the two world wars, the rise and fall of Nazism and Communism, female emancipation - seem self-evidently important. But behind the grand narratives, the politics and the ideologies, lies another history: the history of forces that shaped the lives of individual Europeans. This is the thrust of Richard Vinen's survey of this uniquely destructive and creative century.
