The definitive history of a divided Europe, from the aftermath of the Second World War to the present.
Sir Ian Kershaw is one of the UK's most distinguished historians. His most famous books include Hitler, Fateful Choices and The End. The first volume in his history of modern Europe, To Hell and Back, was described by the Observer as 'superb ... likely to become a classic' and by Harold Evans in the New York Times as 'chilling epic-size history ... should be required reading'. He lives in Manchester.
An expert and meticulous look at the events that shaped the
continent... it should have a prominent place on the shelf of
anybody, professional or layperson, who wants to make sense of
present-day Europe
*Financial Times*
This is a remarkable pan-European survey, and one can only admire
the vast range of scholarship lightly worn
*The Times*
A supreme achievement, wearing its immense learning lightly and
written with page-turning energy
*Literary Review*
In synthesizing and evaluating an enormous body of scholarship, not
only on Europe, East and West, but also on the wider world and the
globalisation processes that have so deeply affected European
history, Ian Kershaw has produced a historical masterpiece.
*Times Literary Supplement*
A formidable historian of detail
*Telegraph*
