Europe: A history of its peoples

"Europe: A History of its Peoples is the most ambitious attempt yet to survey comprehensively and objectively the bold. complex pattern of Europe's development from al promontory of Asia to one of the world's most influential powers.
Many histories of Europe are in effect histories of Europe's nations, placed side by side. This book treats Europe as a whole. While emphasizing how differently Europe's peoples reacted to events in history, it shows how often such events and reactions were facets of shared phenomena.
But the book also asks a number of awkward questions: in particular, whether current attempts to unite and reunite Europe are feasible. The author concludes that there are solid historical reasons for regarding Europe not only as a mosaic of cultures but also as an organic whole. Europeans, he argues, are the product of many civilizations and many influences. Nationalism and the nation-state are relatively recent phenomena in Europe's long history, and their sometimes destructive results have tended to obscure the creative qualities that Europeans share born of diversity, but also of liberty and openness to new ideas."
