Author by: Richard VinenLanguange: enPublisher by: Hachette UKFormat Available: PDF, ePub, MobiTotal Read: 20Total Download: 932File Size: 49,5 MbDescription: The problem with the history of twentieth-century Europe is that everyone thinks they know it.
The great stories of the century - the two world wars, the rise and fall of Nazism and communism, female emancipation - seem self-evidently important. But behind the grand narratives, the politics and the ideologies, lies another history: the history of forces that shaped the lives of individual Europeans. That is the thrust of Richard Vinen's magisterial survey of this uniquely destructive and creative century.
It argues that there is no single history that encompasses the experience of all Europeans, but rather a multiplicity of different, partially interlocking, histories. Some of these histories are told here in a book which seeks to root the generalisations of large-scale analysis in the concrete - and sometimes incongruous - details of individual lives. Challenging, informing and revealing, this is history writing at its finest. Author by: George LichtheimLanguange: enPublisher by: Orion Publishing CompanyFormat Available: PDF, ePub, MobiTotal Read: 98Total Download: 471File Size: 49,5 MbDescription: The great upheavals of the twentieth century have completely altered the shape of Europe, and Europe's role in international affairs. George Lichtheim analyses the profound changes in intellectual, artistic and religious awareness which were both cause and consequence of the decay of traditional bourgeois-liberal culture. Factors such as nationalism, socialism, the European civil war between communist and fascist movements after 1919, and the decline of the nation state are interwoven with concerns such as changes in the quality of life and the rise of technocratic forms of government to create a compelling and comprehensive account of European civilisation between 1900 and 1970. First published in 1972 as part of Weidenfeld and Nicolson's History of Civilisation series.
Author by: David RyanLanguange: enPublisher by: RoutledgeFormat Available: PDF, ePub, MobiTotal Read: 62Total Download: 387File Size: 49,7 MbDescription: The relationship between the US and Europe in the 20th century is one of the key considerations in any understanding of international relations/international history during this period. David Ryan first sets the context by looking at the trends and traditions of America’s foreign relations in the 19th century, and then considers the changing nature of America's vision of Europe from 1900 to the present. The book examines America’s response to and involvement in the two World Wars, including the structure of international power after the First World War and American reaction to the rise of Nazi Germany. American/European relations during the Cold War (1945-1970) are discussed, and Ryan considers the contentious debate that America was trying to establish an empire by invitation.
Finally, the book looks at the ever-increasing unification of Europe and how this has affected America's role and influence.

About The Anatomy of FascismWhat is fascism? By focusing on the concrete: what the fascists did, rather than what they said, the esteemed historian Robert O. Paxton answers this question.From the first violent uniformed bands beating up “enemies of the state,” through Mussolini’s rise to power, to Germany’s fascist radicalization in World War II, Paxton shows clearly why fascists came to power in some countries and not others, and explores whether fascism could exist outside the early-twentieth-century European setting in which it emerged.“A deeply intelligent and very readable book. Historical analysis at its best.” – The EconomistThe Anatomy of Fascism will have a lasting impact on our understanding of modern European history, just as Paxton’s classic Vichy France redefined our vision of World War II. Based on a lifetime of research, this compelling and important book transforms our knowledge of fascism–“the major political innovation of the twentieth century, and the source of much of its pain.”.

Based on a lifetime of research, this compelling and important book transforms our knowledge of fascism–“the major political innovation of the twentieth century, and the source of much of its pain.”. Praise“So fair, so thorough and, in the end, so convincing, it may well become the most authoritative. Study of the subject. A splendid book.” –The New York Times Book Review“Useful and timely. Mussolini and Hitler were the prototypical fascist leaders, and Paxton chronicles their rise to power–and their global influence and ultimate fall–with a brilliant economy.” – San Francisco Chronicle“A deeply intelligent and very readable book.
Historical analysis at its best.” – The Economist“A helpful contribution, thoughtfully mapping out the descent of a civilized people — first the Italians, then the Germans — into a primal state (and state of being) ruled by mythology, symbol and emotion. Serves as a reminder of our power and responsibility.” – The Washington Post Book World“Until now there has been no satisfying account of fascism that includes a convincing diagnostic kit for identifying its symptoms.
Robert Paxton steps in to restore sanity, with his view that fascism is not what was believed but what was done.” – Los Angeles Times Book Review.
