Mastering Modern European History

by Stuart T. Miller

Mastering Modern European History traces the development of Europe from the French Revolution to the present day. Political, diplomatic and socio-economic strands are woven together and supported by a wide range of pictures, maps, graphs and questions. Documentary extracts are included throughout to encourage the reader to question the nature and value of various types of historical evidence. The second edition brings us fully up to the present day. Chapters on European Decolonisation, Communist Europe 1985-9, and European Unity and Discord have been added, and others have been substantially rewritten. An even wider range of illustrations and documentary source questions are included. The book is presented in a readable and well ordered format and is an ideal reference text for students.

[Vassilis Xanthakis]

Παρά το τεράστιο μέγεθος του, πρόκειται για ένα βιβλίο που αναφέρεται συνοπτικά στις διάφορες φάσεις της σύγχρονης ευρωπαϊκής ιστορίας. Έχω την εντύπωση πως θεωρεί ως δεδομένες πολλές ιστορικές γνώσεις ενώ δε θα έπρεπε, όχι και τόσο εύκολο ανάγνωσμα γενικά.

* Βάζω λιγότερο καλή βαθμολογία από αυτήν που είχα στο μυαλό μου διότι αναφέρει την Ε.Ο.Κ.Α. ως φασιστική οργάνωση. Πρόκειται βέβαια για φρικτή αλλοίωση της ιστορίας.

It was an 'for exams' read. Its basically an outline of various aspects of Modern European History. The best thing about the book was it told me about how much I don't know about European history.
