The end of the European era, 1890 to the present
This third edition brings fully up to date the leading text in twentieth-century European history. The last three chapters of this new edition focus much more closely on the years of abundance in Western Europe and de-Stalinization in Eastern Europe (the mid-1950's through the mid-1960's), the student revoltes of the late 1960's, the crisis in Czechoslovakia, the spread of terrorism and the emergence of Eurocommunism, the impact of the oil crisis in the early 1970's, the rise and fall of détente, the crisis in Poland, and the current controversy over arms control and the installation of nuclear weapons in Europe. -- Back cover
