Europe 1715 - 1919: From Enlightenment to World War
The authors provide a comprehensive account of the emergence of modern Europe. (The Social Studies)If one charged two historians to produce a concise and lucid survey of general European history from the Treaty of Utrecht to the Treaty of Versailles, it would be hard to imagine a better book than this. Canadian scholars Roessler and Miklos have produced a text with a clear sense of what will engage students. This text may be used by itself or can serve as a handbook to provide continuity to a course using additional documents. Highly recommended. (Choice Magazine)The quality of their analysis is thorough...Roessler and Miklos work is well-written and historically correct...superbly presented. (H-Diplo)Abreast of recent research yet admirably readable, this book is now the best survey of modern European history for both students and general readers. A particular strength is the treatment of the French Revolution and an added bonus is the brief and select set of documents appended to the text. (Frederick A. de Luna)
