Twentieth Century Europe

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
A concise, well written overview of Twentieth Century Europe's changing political and worldview landscape. The prose lacks vivid, lived body detail and is often less than memorable. The lack of flare is more obvious in the political and social history sections, while the worldview chapters tend to be stronger. More primary source quotations would've enhanced a basically solid treatment.
