The End of the European Era

Author: Felix Gilbert

The new fifth edition of the leading text in twentieth-century European history offers a thorough revision that is up-to-date in its coverage and its scholarship. The new final chapter provides a clear, thorough analysis of the transformations that swept Europe in the 1990s—the unification of Germany, the collapse of the Soviet empire and the regime itself, the disintegration of Yugoslavia. The chapter also traces the efforts at European integration through the European Union and the enlargement of NATO. Throughout the new edition David Large has introduced discussions of women's history and strengthened the coverage of social history in general. He has also pared detail to ensure that the text remains accessible to students.
