Making the New Europe (eBook, PDF)

European Unity and the Second World War
Redaktion: Smith, M. L.; Stirk, Peter M. R.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This volume evaluates the notion of European Unity in a period when European identity was subjected to the destructive consequences of Nazi and Fascist domination of much of the Continent. By presenting the competing visions of transformation and reconstruction played out during the war years the book aims to provide broader-based and more complex insights into forces that shaped the post-war period than those in conventional accounts that locate the thinking about European unity only in the years after 1945.
