Description: "A concise introduction to European history between 1914 and 1945. Twisted Paths is a series of succinct interpretations written by some of the most eminent scholars in the field. Covering historical developments in all areas within Europe's natural borders - from the Atlantic to the Arctic Ocean, from the Bosporus to the Urals and the Mediterranean - the book moves beyond the view that the history of this period can only be understood in terms of catastrophe. Instead it argues for a more balanced perspective, suggesting that both 'darker' and 'lighter' elements in Europe's history were capable of evolving simultaneously."--Jacket.
