Much of what I know about Modern Europe is knowledge derived from John Merriman's "A History of Modern Europe" Volume Two textbook, chronicling the era from Napoleon to the 1990s, providing me with a great basis of the circumstances and effects of groundbreaking events such as, the rise of modern democracies, both World Wars, the Cold War, the Fall of Communism, and the rise of Iron Curtain states / Soviet Republics.

A History of Modern Europe, Second Edition: From the Renaissance to the Present (One-Volume Edition) by John Merriman (2004)
This is the driest reading material I have had to deal with. Of course I've never had to read a textbook before so that really isn't a great description for the book. And it's so long! Like 1350 pages or something like that! And I'm only on page 760! Gaaah! Stupid AP European History book. This is going to be on my currently reading shelf for like another three months at least.
this is actually not a joke... I'm doing Merriman's self-guided European History class on Yale's open course site. it's not like i have anything better to do right now...
Good as textbooks go, occasionally bizarre writing / strange facts... Merriman has a huge crush on Gustavus Adolphus.
