A valuable contribution to modern historical understanding
Meticulously researched and thoughtfully written, Mazower's Book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of European history in the first half of the twentieth century, especially during the decade of the 1940s. As the title suggests, this is a work about the ...

Mark Mazower
Penguin Press HC, The
, 2008
excellent documentary and close analysis, but...
This is an excellent book, with a qualifying 'but'. If you want to understand the dynamic of 'Hitlers Empire', how it developed and collapsed, and the details of its particular flavour of genocidal gangsterism, then this will satisfy all the curiosity you have, and ...

A history of an epic city
I lived in Thessaloniki as an exchange student in 1980. I wish that this book had bee available for me to realize the historic gems around every corner of my favorite city at that time. Mazower's book opens up the reasons for its (the city's) being and why it was and ...

After the War Was Over
Princeton University Press
, 2000
History on the ground
Mazower's previous book on Greece in the 1940s was outstanding for providing a clear picture of life "on the ground" in occupied Greece. Several of the essays in this new book similarly provide a texture of life during the civil war, while others provide a texture of ...
Dark Continent: Europe's Twentieth Century
Mark Mazower
Vintage

essential reading for anyone interested in history
Instead of trying to fit everything into the imaginary frame of nation-state based historical accounts, it is much better to focus on a place and observe the interaction of civilizations through time. This book very successfully undermines any simplistic understanding ...

Compelling, fascinating and disturbing.
