From an award-winning historian, a panoramic account of Europe after the depravity of World War II.
What The Reviewers Say
... wide-ranging and consistently enlightening.
an excellent study of post-war changes in what Betts refers to as 'the political language of civilization'.
At times, one wishes for more depth and subtlety, as well as more attention to the often dark ways in which colonialism, anticommunism, and simple wealth accumulation actually drove the process. Yet this book succeeds in casting new light on a critical European legacy of liberal and moderate values, one that may again be in danger today..
