    <body><![CDATA[Davies specializes in Polish history and WWII, but took on a continent-sized task.  The result is a haphazardly organized mish-mash that loses its way just as its subject emerges as a concept in the 17th and 18th centuries.  <br/><br/>We get a lot of Eastern European history, at the expense of und...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41728968">more...</a>]]></body>

However, I did notice some incorrect facts in the book (for instance about Scandinavia which I know best), and this probably means there are many more incorrect facts I didn´t notice.
