But for much of the rest of Europe this was a day with no meaning, as a continuing, nightmarish series of conflicts engulfed country after country. In this highly original and gripping book Robert Gerwarth asks us to think again about the true legacy of the First World War. In large part it was not the fighting on the Western front which proved so ruinous to Europe's future, but the devastating aftermath, as countries on both sides of the original conflict were wrecked by revolution, pogroms, mass expulsions and further major military clashes.

Zustand: Very Good. : En 'Los Vencidos', Robert Gerwarth nos invita a reconsiderar el verdadero legado de la Primera Guerra Mundial. Argumenta que las devastadoras secuelas, marcadas por revoluciones, pogromos, expulsiones masivas y enfrentamientos militares, fueron más perjudiciales para el futuro de Europa que la propia guerra en el frente occidental.

Este análisis transformador ofrece una nueva perspectiva sobre el siglo XX.
