Twentieth-Century Europe: A Brief History - Softcover

Likes its predecessor, the second edition of Twentieth-Century Europe remains a concise, affordable text in one volume, making it the perfect general introduction to a century of both great achievements and unimaginable barbarism. Though mainly political in focus, the narrative is enriched by thoughtful descriptions of major artistic movements--introducing readers to important figures in literature, visual arts, music--and the emergence and growth of popular culture in its many forms. Now updated with an entirely new chapter that closes out the twentieth century, thematic unit openers, chronologies, new photographs, and new lists of suggested readings and films.
