Compare Dark Continent by Mark Mazower, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

As Mark Mazower tells it, European history is not about inevitable victories and forward marches, but rather one of narrow squeaks and unexpected twists. The triumph of democracy was no foregone conclusion and much care is necessary to avoid the mistakes of the past. Dark Continent presents a convincing case for an alternative history of 20th0-century Europe and strips away some enduring and comforting myths to reveal an entity constantly engaged in bloody attempts at self-invention. | Dark Continent by Mark Mazower, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
