Mark Mazower
Knopf

Read it at least twice
I agree with an earlier reviewer that this is the best history of 20th Century Europe ever. Keen insights and fresh ideas leap off every page. But it needs to be repeated: the Dark Continent is not an introduction to the subject. Unless you have a good knowledge of ...
