MODERN EUROPE TO 1870

Author now presents another two-volume history: Modern Europe to 1870, and Contemporary Europe since 1870. Though this history embodies certain features and phrasings of its predecessors, it is an essentially new work. It is differently organized, with the separating date of the two volumes moved forward from 1815 or 1830 to 1870 in order to admit of fuller treatment of the momentous last half-century. In its writing, which aims at clarity and accuracy, it utilizes new findings of historical scholarship. It is provided with new maps closely articulated with the text, and with new and up-to-date bibliographies. Above all, it reinterprets the historical evolution of Europe from the standpoint of the Atlantic Community which has been developing since the sixteenth century and especially of the crisis in that Community resulting from the world wars and revolutions of our own time. National politics and policy, as the central concern of Modern Europe (and America), receive chief attention, but not to the neglect of those social, economic, and ideological factors which shape or at least condition political thought and action.
