内容简介
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.
This text offers a narrative of the events that shaped the 20th-century Europe, from population and migration increases in the early 1900s to the ongoing unrest in the Balkans. This 6th volume of the "Norton History of Modern Europe Series" has been updated and charts recent developments.
Gilbert (d. 1991, formerly Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton U.) and Large (history, Montana State U.), who co-wrote the first edition in 1970, produced a standard political history of Europe from 1890 to the present, admirable for its succinct treatment of complex events. For this edition, Large has added a new chapter on the 1990s, sections on the role of women for each chapter, and expanded the coverage of the collapse of the Soviet Union.
