Description:
"Dark Continent" is a searching history of Europe in the twentieth century. Stripping away the comforting myths and illusions in place since the Second World War, Mark Mazower presents an unflinching account of the continent locked in a finely balanced struggle between democracy and totalitarianism, tolerance and racial extermination, imperial ambition and ethnic self-determination.

Mazower's extraordinarily skilled and insightful analysis provides us with a new perspective on the events of the century now drawing to a close. From the beginnings of the First World War to the establishment of the European Union, he depicts a battle for hearts and minds that reached more deeply than any before into the daily lives of ordinary people. Vividly written and vigorously argued, "Dark Continent" presents both a comprehensive history of twentieth-century Europe and a provocative vision of its future.
