ISBN10: 0140241590, ISBN13: 9780140241594, [publisher: Penguin Books Ltd, London] Softcover First Edition Paperback. Dark Continent is a searching history of Europe's most brutal century. Stripping away the comforting myths and illusions that we have grown up with since the Second World War, Mark Mazower presents an unflinching account of a continent locked in a finely balanced struggle between tolerance and racial extermination, imperial ambition and national self-determination, liberty and the tyrannies of Right and Left. The end of First World War saw old empires swept away and opportunity to build a better society from the ruins. This title overturns the myth of Europe as a safe haven of democracy to redefine our view of twentieth century. It tells the story of a century of division, charting struggles of rival ideologies to create a new world order for mankind. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
