A review by heathward
Dark Continent: Europe's Twentieth Century by Mark Mazower
5.0
All Europeans should read this book, to challenge the safe assumptions that we hold about our recent past.
One point of criticism is that Mazower's arguments are at their best pre-1948, and at their shakiest 1989 onward: for example, the prediction that Russia would no longer to intervene in the affairs of its neighbours has not aged well.
