Description
With to Hell and Back Ian Kershaw joins the lauded Penguin History of Europe series, offering the full story of the twentieth century's impact on Europe, and on the world. The first volume in his tow=part history brings us into the paroxysms of a conflict that would wrench and upend the continent, the drama and despair of a people waylaid by catastrophe and the new Europe that would emerge as a result. In the summer of 1914, most of Europe plunged into a war so horrendous that recovery would take generations. The disaster terrified it's survivors, who were shocked that a civilization they had blandly assumed to be a model for the rest of the world had collapsed into savagery. In 1939, Europeans would initiate a second conflict that managed to be even worse-a war in which the killing of civilians was central and in whose aftermath the violence continued, shaping the divided continent that emerged. Kershaw profiles the key decision makers and the violent shocks of war that radically altered the course of European history. He not only gives a compelling narrative of events, but he also wrestles with the most difficult issues that the events raise. Brilliantly written and filled with penetrating insights, To Hell and Back offers a indispensable study of an era in European history whose effects are still being felt today.
