Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In this straightforward update of Europe Since Hitler (1969), Laqueur analyzes the political, economic, social and cultural evolution of Europe from the start of the Cold War to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Library Journal

This is an excellent and timely study of postwar Europe written by one of the finest historians of our era. Comprehensive in scope, it eschews the stereotypical political and diplomatic focus common to so many surveys. Based largely on secondary sources and memoirs of leading figures, the book is divided into six parts, and includes strong sections on economic, social, and cultural developments in the West, the former Eastern bloc, and the Soviet Union. Laqueur's analyses of economic developments is particularly lucid, and should be a boon to students seeking to grasp the hydra-headed nature of today's European Community. The analytical strength of the book is further augmented by the division of its six major sections into brief chapters and by the author's clear and engaging writing style. Statistical information is also provided within the text for convenient reference. Though recent events in the Soviet Union have already dated much of the final chapters, this is an excellent work destined to become a standard text for the Nineties.

5.0 out of 5 stars Detailed analysis from emminent historian, July 27, 2000

By	Nathan Joyce (Brisbane, Australia) - See all my reviews

Walter Laquer's "Europe in Our Time- A History: 1945-1992" is a supremely authoritative text, detailing a period in European history (and world history) quite unlike any other.

Europe was, to be blatantly honest, a mess after the Allies defeated the Germans and received their unconditional surrender. The problem was what to do after the end of the European War.

From here, Laquer speaks of all the important developments that occured in Europe, in most countries, in a very interesting prose-like fashion. Key concepts and terms our all explained sufficiently, and this book is similar to a novel in that it will keep you up at night, turning page after page, swallowing the history of Europe after 1945.

Highly recommended for undergraduate history students, and anyone remotely interested in how the modern world came about.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dry history that we have seen before, September 6, 2007

By	Yoda (Hadera, Israel) - See all my reviews

Dry history book that contains little that has not been said before. Lacking in analysis of events.
