About This Book

Why a new history of modern Europe? The collapse of Communism in 1989- 1990 and the breakup of the Soviet Union have redrawn the map of Central and Eastern Europe. A reconfigured Europe calls for a new history. This survey of modern European history explores the roots of the economic and political problems that continue to beset Western and Eastern Europe.
