The global age : Europe 1950-2017

by Ian Kershaw

This history of Europe from 1950 to 2017 examines the continent's post-war recovery, the Cold War division, and the impacts of globalisation. It analyses the fall of the Soviet bloc, German reunification, and the economic crises that define the contemporary era.

brief_description
After the overwhelming horrors of the first half of the twentieth century, the years from 1950 to 2017 brought peace and relative prosperity to most of Europe. Enormous economic improvements transformed the continent. The catastrophic era of the world wars receded into an ever more distant past, though its long shadow continued to shape mentalities. Yet Europe was now a divided continent, living under the nuclear threat in a period intermittently fraught with anxiety. There were, by most definitions, striking successes: the Soviet bloc melted away, dictatorships vanished, and Germany was successfully reunited. But accelerating globalization brought new fragilities. -- publisher
