Opis

This comprehensive history examines the varied manifestations of political violence in Europe's extremely violent twentieth century.

Recenzje

'So much has been written about the European cataclysm between 1914 and 1945 that essential questions about the origins, evolution and ongoing nature of state (and sometimes anti-state violence) on the twentieth-century continent have often been lost to view. By means of a broader chronology, wider geographical remit and system-centred approach, the team of leading historians who have come together to produce this volume, offer not simply a cogent, incisive and thought-provoking reassessment but actually a new paradigm for the study of modern European violence in a global context.'
