Produktbeschreibung

Martin Kitchen's compelling account of Europe between the wars sets the twenty-year crisis within the context of the profound sense of cultural malaise shared by many philosophers and artists, the economic crises that plagued a Europe ruined by war and the social upheavals caused by widespread unemployment and grinding poverty amid a noticeable improvement of living standards.

Its strengths lie in the breadth of coverage, the clarity of the narrative and the ease with which the authors interlards his story with analysis... This remains an admirable study which students will positively welcome for its clarity, breadth of content and overall good sense.'
