Ideas of Europe Since 1914by Dr Menno Spiering; Michael Wintle
Palgrave Macmillan Ltd. 2002; US$ 109.00This book is about the history of Europe in the twentieth century and concentrates on two particular aspects. First, it examines the impact of the Great War on Europe; secondly it is concerned with European civilization and with ideas of what is meant to be 'European'.
