Description:
Praise for the previous edition"He manages to make an enormous expanse of history accessible to the average reader in very few pages. There are not many books that set the historical context for this part of the world so well."--Foreign Affairs"Written by a sophisticated historical analyst, this book is nevertheless more accessible to non-specialists than any comparable work. Lonnie Johnson explains the region's paradoxes objectively, but also with deep sympathy....Students, travelers, officials, and businessmen who wish to understand the contradictions of this vital, appealing, but often alarming heart of Europe must read this illuminating narrative."--Daniel Chirot, University of Washington"Johnson's superb survey, rich with historical insights and well-drawn descriptions of events and people, focuses on a region too little known and understood in the U.S. Fine maps, effective illustrations, and an admirably clear and engaging writing style enhance a work that is sure to become a standard."--P.W. Knoll, University of Southern California"Central Europe has finally re-entered the cultural world of Western Europe and the United States....Lonnie Johnson has come along with a book which is extremely useful not only for courses on Central Europe but will be indispensable to readers whose knowledge of European ideas is generally limited to the Western half of the continent."--Istv'an De'ak, Columbia University
